May be Charles G. Betts, b. 28 August, great-grandfather of Dan Conlin <conlindf@@hotmail.com>.

Dan Conlin believes Charles had a twin brother who died young. [Confirmed by Darcy in 2005. See 1881 baptisms at St. Mary's Catholic Church.]

Further (although admittedly circumstantial) evidence that Charles Betts is son of our Charles Betz: William Clabeau (1869-1931) who was raised by Johanna Betz Clabeau (sister of our Charles Betz) has an address book. In it includes a listing for both Sister Eusebia [aka Jennie Betz] and Charles Betz/Betts. Why else would William have these in his address book if they weren't his cousins or otherwise related to his mother/aunt.
