Biography
The spelling of his first name varies. Early records generally use Orestus. Later records spell the name Orestes. The year of his birth also varies. Later census records and his death certificate suggest he was born in 1847 or 1848. However, he appears in the 1850 census as age 4 and 1860 census as age 14. Thus, 1846 is a preferable date.
