Notes

The 1879 Reilly deed's lot begins 14 feet northeast of Dickinson Street and is bounded southwest "by ground of said George Wesemann" (F85): this 14-foot corner lot is that ground (PROBABLE). The family was at 2321 Tulip Street in 1873 and 1880. J. Fletcher Budd also witnessed the 1872 deed and George's 1874 will. Grade: STATED;
