Immigration Record

Although other sources list his immigration date as 1864, this is the only record I could find for someone with his name, age, and approximate immigration time frame. It's possible that when someone was looking back at old immigration documents, they misread the last number in the year, 1869 and read that 9 as a 4, as in 1864.
