* NOTES
- Although the name in the article's title was "James Hanley, it was on the same page as other articles about the Handley family, and the name "Handley" was handwritten on the article as well as the notation: "Always called Wallace."
- This article lists Jacob Handley and Susan (Spaulding) Handley as the parents of James Wallace Handley. The obituary of an Isaac Handley, however, lists Susan Spaulding as his wife and a "Wallace" from Kouts as their son. The obituary of Susan Handley also lists her husband's name as "Isaac
" rather than as "Jacob."
