I have searched through FamilySearch and Find-a-Grave extensively and have been unable to find anything except the 1850 Census listing which gives his first name as something like "Sidna," but the ink is faded, and it's very difficult to read. The original record had his name as "Miner Sidney." I'm not sure where the date of death came from on the original profile, but I can't find anything to confirm it. -- Fiscus-32 00:37, 15 October 2015 (EDT)
