Both the 1850 and 1860 US census records, as well as later census for his daughter show that he was born in Canada. I am not 100% certain on the 1816, but have based it on the age that was given in 1850 Onondaga Co, NY census, where he was age 34, and the 1860 Cayuga census record, showing him as 44, both of which would put him born c. 1816. He was living in the US, as best I can guess, by 1845, as the 1850 census shows him with a 5 yr. old son, born in the US. TIA for any information you might be able to come up with. Bonnie
