Note: Many are now convinced that Henry Sturm was born into the family of Johann Jacob Sturm, Jr. of Maryland. The family of Johann Jacob Sturm is well documented, mainly at the Hart family website. Henry's mother, then, would be Anna Maria Margaretha Dellinger. Brett Berry, Lawrence Weaver and others had long suspected this connection which is complicated by the fact that Henry was not included in the family will. Other coincidences, however, are persuasive. I leave it to others to document anything before Henry Sturm Sr..

Note: For the Garner material I have relied heavily on the help of Linda Bowser, more complete charts can be found there (see above) as well as correspondence from Cecil Ballentine; and for the Sturm material I have relied on papers of my grandparents (Max and Inglis Sturm) which included correspondence from Amos A. Ballentine; correspondence from Carolyn Glaspy Lansdon including notes from Lloyd Sturm. I am aware that there are many gaps and recent material not yet entered. I have been in touch with Brett Berry, Laurence Weaver, Robin Mosier, all of whom have helped generously.
