The 1860 census says he was born in Pennsylvania and in the 1870 and later census some of his children say he was born in Scotland. The 1850 census has his age as 45, the 1860 has it as 46 so you can see that we don't know what to really think. That is why I asked the question. I appreciate you replying so quickly. Thanks
