Petition of Albert Scriver Odell, yeoman...........
"That your petitioner was born in the United States of America and is 28 years of age. That he has resided in Lower Canada since infancy until last July when he removed to the Township of Westminster in this province................"
Petition dated February, 1816
Albert S. Odell
born 1787+28 years old = 1815.
Hi David:
This is info from a document that I have found recently. It is from a Land Petition which is dated 1816
So, according to this document Albert Odell would have arrived in Westminster in July, 1815. ie after the war was over.
It just proves that once an error is made, it can be copied over and over again., including my own article "Grave Concerns"
