• Notes

  The 1860 Census of Massachusetts puts his net worth at $200 and records that neither he nor his wife could read or write in English; however, the 1870 Census records that they now could do both. It is known that he served in the Union Army during the Civil War, possibly in the 11th Independent Battery, MA Light Artillery.
