1. ↑ He was born in 1845 in 1861; 1851 in 1871; 1850 in 1881; 1853 in 1891; 1849 in 1901. There was a baptismal record for him in the Chatham, New Brunswick Anglican church records, dated August 1851. He was not in the 1851 census, unless he was the son named Peter who was not baptized, and who does not appear in later records. Perhaps the "age 16" in the 1861 census should have been "age 10"? This is the date from the 1901 census; however, his baptismal record would indicate he was born before August 1851.
