I am trying to discover where James was born. He married Eliza
Lamoreaux around 1835 in
Butler,
Wayne County,
New York. Their first child,
Olive, was born in 1836 and their second child, Andrew was born in 1838 both in
Butler. Census records state that both he and his parents were born in Canada. Albert
Pearson born in
Maitland in 1828 married Eliza's sister, Mary around 1850. Since the sisters married
Pearson men, I thought they could be brothers. Now, I am not sure as an IGI record has James being born in
Butler. Pearson can also be spelled Piersons. The 1850 census for
Butler,
New York has Albert and Mary Piersons living with Mary's parents, John and Martha
Lamoreaux.
Any assistance in this dilemna would be appreciated.
