Notes

2004-10-30/2019-11-15 - From the OHS PC Database, derived from A Guide to North American Organbuilders, by David H. Fox (Richmond, Va.: Organ Historical Society, 1991). — Installed Erben organ in Clarkesville, Georgia, 1848. Sources: Elizabeth Towne Schmitt. Organ Update The Tracker 32:2, 11.

2015-10-26/2020-04-09 - See main entry: Henry Erben

2019-11-16/2019-11-16 - Except from Organ Update, The Tracker 32:2, 11: J. Allen Farmer of Winston-Salem, NC, has restored the 1848 Henry Erben 1-6 at Grace Calvary Episcopal Church, Clarkesville, Georgia, and will add a three-stop pedal division that will not encroach on the original organ in any way. Research conducted in church records by David L. Greene has located correspondence with one Jarvis Van Buren who was secured to erect the organ following the directions sent with it. That non-organbuilders sometimes erected Erben's instruments, as indicated by the correspondence, is a surprise to some historians.
