About James Heaton

  • may be the same person as the unknown sibling, but only if he was born a little earlier than otherwise reported.

The 1784 DigbyMuster Roll indicates three people in (father) Peter's retinue. One is most probably James.

• his parents evidently returned form Canada when he was a young child (c. 1790)
• perhaps he lived in New Jersey or New York before leaving for Illinois in his married years.
