The 1850 US census states that Betsy was born after her parents had moved to Jackson, Michigan. But the 1860 census states that she was born in New York state. The subsequent Canadian records simply say that she was born in the US.
Betsy married Isaac Snow, a farm labourer from England, in 1854. He died about a decade later, and she quickly remarried to a stone mason from Quebec named George Halleck. George and Betsy eventually moved to Canada, settling in Kent County, Ontario.
