BIRTH: Joel is shown as 70, born in the US, on the 1871 census.12
QUESTION: This family is very confused. It's shown here as found in the History of Cramahe Township10, but that doesn't agree with 1871 census data (see below).12 The older children could have moved out, but the birthdates don't work. Emily would have been 9 when the eldest was born. Was there a previous wife, perhaps, or is Emily's age in error?
