Biography
Erastus was born in 1795. He is the son of Elisha Miner and Eunice Capron. He is listed as a male under 10 years of age in the listing for his father Elisha "Minor" in the 1800 Census. His father died in 1801.
During the 1810 Census, seem to be living with Cyrus Capron (also of Clermont, Columbia County, New York), a brother of Eunice (Capron) Miner. His mother Eunice died in 1811. Will need to check 1820 Census, to see if Erastus and his two siblings might be living with Cyrus Capron in 1820.
He is apparently not the Erastus A. Miner of Bozrah who married Martha M. Burke of East Haddam, July 4, 1847.
Some have suggested he is the Erastus Miner who married a Margaret Siver, but that Erastus Miner was apparently born in 1796 and was son of Jesse Miner and Susan Roth.
