Re: William H. Sanders 1823
Where and when did he die? Do you have the US census data? Might give some clues. This posting board is for Ontario County east of Toronto -- you should cross-post to the general board.

Re: William H. Sanders 1823
Hi, Thank you for the reply.Wm.H. Sanders died Nov 25,1906 in Warren County,NY.1880 census of Minerva,Essex County,NY say that he and my gggrandmother were both born in NY,his pension records read that he was born in New York,New York, while his death record says Canada.I have spoke to a local historian and they had stated that my best bet would be to try Canada.

Re: William H. Sanders 1823
I would disagree ... the 1900 census puts him born in New York, with his parents born in England. His death certificate information is only as good as the informant -- who filled it out and provided the information? Trying to do research in Canada without further information would prove impossible.
1900 US Census Johnsburg, Warren County, New York
Sanders, William, Boarder, b. April 1823, age 77, widowed, b. New York, parents b. England (in home of S??? Armstrong).
The 1880 census gives his birthplace as New York. So does the 1870 Census:
Johnsburgh, Warren County, New York
Saunders, William, age 42, carpenter & jointer, b. New York Saunders, Julia H., age 37, keeping house, b. New York Saunders, Louisa C., age 14, at home, b. New York Saunders, James, age 13, laborer, b. New York Saunders, Oliver, age 11, laborer, b. New York Saunders, William, age 9, at home, b. New York Saunders, Anna, age 5, at home, b. New York Saunders, Alfred, age 4, at home, b. New York Saunders, Gideon, age 1, at home, b. New York
I'm having a hard time pulling the family together in 1860, but have found the following:
Johnsburg, Warren County, New York
Gleason, Russel, age 25, carpenter, b. New York Gleason, Lordina, age 22, housekeeper, b. New York Saunders, Loesa, age 5, b. New York
In a separate household: Saunders, Wm., age 35, farm laborer, b. New York (in home of George Moore)
Am wondering if Julia was a second marriage, and he was a widower at the time in 1860, leaving Louisa with relatives or neighbours.

Re: William H. Sanders 1823-1906
It makes me think about Julia being a second marriage, because it has written down that William states in his pension records that he married Julia Hills in North River,Warren County,NY on what seems to be February 1861 by the deacon John Brown but,I don't know how that can be...their first child,a son,Henry was born in North Hudson,Essex County,NY in 1850.
Henry 1850 m.Mary Casau Alonzo 1854? m. Caroline(?) James Louisea m. Wm LaPrairie Annie m. Fred Bassett William 1861 m.?? Oliver 1858-1930 m.Phebe(?) m. Fanny Corlew Gideon(Giddy) m. Ida Shaw Nellie m. Michael Lynch
Thank you for your help!

Re: William H. Sanders 1823
Looking back at old posts. Can you show me where it states William was listed as Widower??
|
Re: William H. Sanders 1823
1900 Census has his status as "wd" = widowed
|
Re: William H. Sanders 1823
I have seen him listed as widowed born in England living with an Armstrong family in Johnsburgh,NY. William's birth place is a tough one to find.
Thank you.
