  	Doug Whitesell writes: "Hi again Gary, I also have her as appearing in the 1850 Wayne, Michigan, USA Census aged 22 which would make her born in 1828. Born Colchester, Essex County, Ontario, Canada. I have a picture of the old house where she would have been born on Snake Lane in Colchester(Harrow village now). The house is still standing. An old maple tree in the front yard is about 7 feet across the but and my mother remembers playing in that tree and it was huge then about 75 years ago with her cousins. The house was in the family for 175 years and it has been owned by someone else for about 50 years now. Eleanor's father Jacob came to Upper Canada(Ontario) in about 1787 or there abouts. .... My memory gets a little fuzzy that far back. ;-) Doug in BC"
