Notes
Birth
This date is inferred from the 1855 census.Marriage
The minister may have been from State Street Methodist Church. Check their records.Residence (family)
The census lists John, Mary Ann, Noah B, Josephine plus an additional person John Snow, age 22 laborer, born in New York. I'm guessing that this person is related to Mary Ann and that her maiden name is Snow.Death
Does not appear in the 1860 census with Mary A and children.The listing in the 1860 census substitutes index is for John Van Curen associated with Margaret Willingford, probably this John's father.
Residence (family)
Census lists John as a "? dealer". It says that he was born in Renssalaer county. and that he has resided in this town for 20 years. It says that Mary Ann has resided there for 15 years. It shows her birth place as Albany county.Endnotes
