Born in Vermont between 1776 and 1794. Best guess from censuses 1790-1794. Sons had the middle name Perley, so I think it is Perley. Wife Sylvina (last name unknown) born 1793 Connecticut. Born in VT. Probably lived in Canada in 1809-1814. (Loyalists?) First few children born in Canada. Lived in Hebron, Washington Co, NY from at least 1820-1825. Was in Clarence, Erie Co, NY at 1830 census. Probably died between 1830 and 1840. Widow and the rest of the family are in North Shenango, Crawford Co, Pennsylvania in 1840. And then Pampas, DeKalb Co, Illinois, 1850. Common first names in the family are: Luther, Lucy, Leslie, Weslie, Wallace, Norman, Alfred, Albert, George. Some of these names repeated for generations. Seem to be very "English" names Seemed to migrate with the Chesebrough/Cheasbro, Herrick, McLallan and maybe Jordan families. And his children married into these families. Where was he born? Who were his parents and siblings? Thanks for any help! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
