Any information that you might come across on Peter or the seminary > would be greatly appreciated. When he said it was 11 miles below Suspension Bridge, my first thought was that the seminary might have been Stella Niagara in Lewiston. But that didn't exist in the 1850s and it was/is conncected with the Sisters of St. Francis. Then I thought of the Villa St. Vincent in Youngstown. But it, too, didn't exist back that long ago either and I have an idea it was run by the Sisters of Charity. When he said 11 miles "below" Niagara Falls, around here we view that as north of Niagara Falls below/downstream of the Falls. However, he may have been using the expression to indicate that the seminary was 11 miles south of the Falls which would have put it in the vicinity of North Tonawanda, Tonawanda or more toward Buffalo. Good luck in your research. vee from Youngstown
