*Henry b. 1856 Canada

I have not found out much info on Henry. I know he was a canal driver when he was 14 according to the 1870 census. I also know he worked for the railroad. I found him enumerated with William Ingalshe as a farm laborer in 1880 in the town of Alabama, Genesee Co. NY in 1880. Henry was single. The 1890 census was destroyed by a fire and I could not find him on the 1900 census. The search continues.
