Birth of an American Family states that Theodore (20) had at least one son Peter (74) who married Louise & had 4 children, John, Peter, George and Theodore (122). On the Census reports the Peter (74) wife & family belong to George E De Noyelles. Did Peter go by the name George? And most of all does anyone know of any document that ties "George" or "Peter (74)" to Theodore (20) a earlier cenus perhaps, as there is no annotation in the book fo this statement. Any insight would be appreciated. I do not own Birth of an American Family, I can view additional pages at the library if need be. Feel free to correct me, I would rather be finished than be right!-Val
