Notes
General notes:
The Hum Bird was owned at Detroit, Michigan in 1836;
Homer Brooks drowned near Sandusky, Ohio while sailing her;
John Poole's notes says that the Hum Bird arrived from Canada and entered the port of Sandusky, Ohio, on 4/8/1828; It is possible that the building at Conneaut may be a rebuild, or there are two Hum Birds on Lake Erie and the same time;
