Compeller's Notes:
Birth: Most of the Census records and other records put his birth as in Vermont, however the PRDH states he was born in Henryville, Canada. I think, as the majority of his childhood was in Vermont, he considered that his birth place. I am using the Canadian birth as the PRDH is quite accurate.

1910 Census:
He is listed as being born in Vermont, as he was in prior census'. His parents birth place was listed as Canada, but later was changed to England with an immegration date of 1865 added. There were other records on the return that were likewise changed. When and why are unknown.13
