I have information. He was my 3rd great-grandfather. He was born in 1837 in Quebec. It was rumored near or in Tree Rivers. I also heard that he was in the New York area around the age of 14, perhaps living with extended family. He was very short and very dark complected. He translated his last name into English and then cut it in half (Shortsleeve to Short). He married Sophia Elizabeth Carle on 21 Mar 1858 in Batavia, Kane, IL and died in Commerce, Polk, IA.

I have been trying to find anything on siblings or parents for him for years! Anything you could give me would be most appreciated!
