Person:Ebenezer Poor (2)

E. B. Poor living in Westfield, Chautauqua, NY. Ages of family match up.

1850, 1860 and 1870 census records all indicate different birthplaces and approx.. 1801 as birth year.

Certificate of Disability for Discharge from the U.S. Army indicates he was born in (Livingston?) Ohio. This was dated 24 July 1862 and indicated he was 46 years old. That would have made his birth year 1816. Death record from Portage County Probate Court indicates he died 7 Jan 1879 at age of 77, which would be consistent with about 1802 birth.

Declaration for Original Pension of a Widow indicates he died 4 January 1879 and marriage date was 26 July 1827.

One source says born in Big Tree, Erie Co., New York.
