Hi E. Lauraine Syrnick,

There are two citations right above. The first is to the index at FamilySearch. The second is to the image, at Internet Archive. (I used the indexed information from FamilySearch to pull up the census image at Internet Archive.)

Click on the link in the second citation. It should port you over to the image.

Okay, found the site.  Sorry am not familiar with US Census material - live in Canada, but it makes perfect sense.  Ubfortuately cannot read it as it is too dim.  Very frustrating.  Am showing his wife as Martha Patty Nute but wanted proof of her age as it looks like an error was made in her age.  She was "supposedly" born in 1775 which makes her considerably younger than John Jr. Sibley.  It could be correct, but doubt it.

Thanks you so much for pointing this out for me.

Answer 1

I can't find any reliable records to support this, but about 20 trees on Ancestry have posted this man as the father: 

 

John Sibley Sr     Birth 12 Mar 1758 in Halifax, 1654152, Nova Scotia, Canada Death 1835 in Passadumkeag, Penobscot, Maine, USA

Again, no reliable sources, but this is who the trees have been posting as his wife:

 

Martha Patty Nute     Birth 10 Jan 1775 in Hartland, Somerset, Maine, USA Death

Have her, but think the date must be wrong as she would be 21 years older than John Sibley Jr.

Not sure, but it just seems she should be a bit older.  Wonder where people got that date from??

Answer 2

The websites in my heritage   say he was born 1796  D1870 married Martha Patty Nute in 1820.

They had 2 children   Benjamin C sibley  1822

                                       Christopher Columbus Sibley 1824 -1900.
