I searched a bit and it turns out that no one knows where he was born or who his parents where. And no one knows where he died or when. Even the roots of this sect aren't clear. On page 354 in the book "Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States, Volume 5" it says that the earliest record of him is from Ascot, Quebec where he was accused of killing child. However a date isn't mentioned, but what is mentioned is that, after he became a "prophet" he traveled from Canada with his wife and his infant child called Christ. The name of his wife isn't mentioned.
