• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: The leg 'downwards' was a bit difficult to source in the various census years as different census years seemed to have mismatching ages (before getting 'back to normal in the next tranche). Also - The family were in St Lawrence for just 2 decades before all initially disappearing in 1870. It looks possible that parents JOHN P and ISABELLE may have died and the children moved all over the USA after that. SO FAR I have the children as follows:- George stayed in Edwards, St Lawrence. John P went to Missouri - then Nebraska Joseph H went to Missouri - then Nebraska. Briggs went to Califonia. I'll have to spend more time trying to trace the girls later (always more difficult to get that 1st link) . Jim Flack - 20 August 2007. CENSUS: 1840 US Federal Census - New York, St Lawrence, Lisbon.
