Notes - Sailed with Catharine, Janet and Jonathan on the "Carolina" from Glasgow, arriving in New York on April 12, 1849, their voyage may have been arranged by the Potters' Emigration Society, which at this time, was taking in those of other occupationns, to their scheme to settle workers on to land in Wisconsin, USA, unfortunately the scheme was declared bankrupt in late 1850. The census of Sep. 1850 had him as a Farmer in Port Hope, Columbia County, WI, but in the census of June 1860 he was a Day Labourer, residing in Portage City, Columbia County. He served in the 1st Wisconsin Heavy Artillery in Civil War, in May 1877, he was naturalised at Portage, WI. The1880 US Census gives his occupation as Laborer, living in Portage, Columbia, WI. Resided for a short time in La Crosse, WI, before going to South Dakota, listed on the Veterans Schedule of 1890 Census in Madison, Lake, SD with Asthma and died there in 1890. Has a Headstone in the Graceland Cemetery which was readable in 2006.
