  • Notes 
    • It appears that his children listed in the 1851 Census of Waterloo Township are too young to all be his wife's, perhaps they are adopted or grandchildren if the ages of the parents are correct. The tombstones indicate that they in fact where 20 years younger than the census indicates.
