Misc. Notes
In 1892 NYS Census, appears he lived with Adoniram Peck and Alma Johnson; listed as 16 years old. 39 However, it looks as if he is Adoniram’s grandson, not son; question is, whose son is he? Son of the late Cornelius? Or was he a bonus baby? Maria would have been 52, so that’s unlikely.
