After she died, he remained a widower for 10 years. He married again and by this second union he had children, the 3rd one, a daughter, is now about 60 years old, lives here and is the mother of Mrs. Brisbois. I gather these facts through the interpretation of Mr. J. B. DuBay, as the old gentleman cannot speak English. --C.C. Britt, Portage, Wisconsin, October 20, 1856. P.S. The old gentleman is now quite agile and walks with a rapid step.”
