My name is Jonathan Jr. I was born in Gilmanton N.H. And moved to Vermont with my family sometime aftward.
In the winter of 1850, I had traveled to Canada. Unlike my dad and grand dad, the first passenger train start to roll in 1821 so the trip was long but much faster than the horse and buggy. We still used them to get around town to the store and visit family. I meet Elizabeth there and we got married on Oct. 7, 1850 . There is a little confussion with the date but later you will be able to understand them. We had 7 children.
Albert B. was born in 1822 in Vermont,. Frederick in 1830 in Canada. Harriett was born in 1834 in Canada. Caroline arrived in 1835 in New hamppshire. Our last 3 sons were born in vermont. George in 1840. Philander in 1844, Adelaide in 1848. My son Albert will now fill you in on our 5th generation.
After having my family, sodlers were still needed. So I enlisted
