Marilyn, sorry to be writing so many separate e-mails about this. The record show that Alexander at age 14 was born in Canada, but the older siblings: Francis, Sophia and Charles (ages 19, 17 and 16) were born in the US. So they would have lived in the USA from 1831-1834) and have been in Canada for the birth of Alexander in 1836. Then they would have been in the US for the births of the remaining 6 children. As you know, this was quite common in that area for that time period. They lived and worked and worshipped on both sides of the border. Mary
