• Notes

  He and his wife were having children by 1834 according to information from S. Hollis@worldnet.att.net. However, his age is listed at age 38 in an 1860 census, making his birth year only 12 or 13 years previous to 1834. In the 1830 cenr Belmont Co., OH, he is likely the son who was age 10-15 years of age. I highly suspect that he was not having children by 1834. (CL-488)
