Records show he came to the U.S. as a young man. No other informationon his early life. The 1850 census shows him in Oconomowoc, Waukesha, Wisconsin. The same census shows him married to a Janet age 36 in 1850. It also shows that the first 4 kids Mary,Agnes,John and William were born in NY. This tends to put him in NY in 1838 or so. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone, would love to hear about it. thanks Bob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
