Notes
^ The Blue Book of the State of Wisconsin from 1879 contradicts the Vermont vital records, giving his birth date as January 7.
[2] (This may have resulted from misreading the month abbreviation Jun. as Jan. ) A county history published four years later simply states that he was born in January.
