Notes: Source claims he was born 1859 in Miami, Ohio, USA... This fits with 1901 Census information, so may explore further at a later date. He appears w/ family in 1860 Census for Brown, Miami Co, OH, and later in 1870, in Pennsylvania, Mason Co, IL , with his widowed mother and a sister. J.E. moved back to Digby, as he and family are noted there in 1891. So likely he was captured in 1880 US Census, unless in transition back to Canada, as I've not found him in Canadian records for the 188 1 Census.
