The 1870 Oswegatchie, St. Lawrence Co., New York census finds Henry A. (Read) age 35, a cigar manufacturer with an estimated land value of $12,000 and personal property valued at $6,000, it goes on to state he was born in Canada. Henry's wife Sarah M. (28) and two young sons Henry N. (4) and James W. (2 ) were living with him, along with his mother Mary (60) from Ireland and a James H. (Read) age 16. This James H. Read leads me to believe our Henry A. Read may have had children of a previous marriage and the 7 year age difference between Henry and Sarah could indicate this possibility.
