Notes
Birth
Age 3 on 1855 State Census of New York -- Salina, Onondaga Co. (FHL #0870757). Although the census states that he was born in Onondaga Co., a researcher from Syracuse could find no baptismal record at St. John the Baptist or Assumption Churches (the only ones in the Salina area at the time). All census records I've researched to this point indicate that he was born in New York. 1861 Census for Quebec (Yamachiche, St-Maurice Co., p. 182) gives his age as 11; I'll compromise between these two early censuses for the birth year.Census
