• Notes

  The dates given above are from Ezra Eby's A Biographical History of Waterloo Township (1895). A transcript of the gravestone gives April 11, 1856, as the death date, and the calculated birthdate using age information from the stone (10 months, 9 days) is June 2, 1855. Because the gravestone is badly eroded, the accuracy of the transcript cannot be checked. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/209470813/benjamin-cressman
