On a side note, his father was a farmer in that area and originally from NJ. His mother was born in the town of Hector in Schuyler County. His siblings and half siblings from his father’s previous marriage lived in various communities nearby in Cayuga(Auburn), Tompkins and Schuyler counties. Many were born in the nearby town of Ovid also in Seneca County. This means the schools he attended would today most likely have been in the South Seneca SD. You can find some of this information if you follow the background of siblings and his parents in the second website.
