A man of very exemplary habits, never having been addicted to the use of liquor or tobacco, and an oath was never heard to pass his lips.

Some years this family was listed in the census with the surname of PERRIGO. We have not come across this name attached to this family anywhere else. Current speculation is that maybe they lived on what was known as the PERRIGO farm? Family anecdotal evidence states that David's father died fairly soon after the move to the Cape Vincent area. Some of the vital statistics above are from a FTM pedigree. I contacted the contributor and he has not responded to my requests for documentation. Reid Olson
