[Note: given a daughter age 3 in 1860 census, presumably born before summer 1857, cited below, it is difficult to believe this birth could be a separate child. While the town record record 136 also shows it as a male, there it appears likely that it is the result of overuse of dittos. The births of the two children 12 years apart are the only records found for these parents, i.e., not deaths of any male children, nor any pattern of frequent births.]
