Notes for Benjamin Burt SQUIRE

Harman Clark notes:
See N.J.Census 1850, Essex County, page 389.
See family chart, now in possession of Harman R. Clark, Jr., given to him by
Gladys and Florence Whitehead, which lists births of children. (This is
framed wall chart, made by Benjamin and Rachel Marsh, in the nature of entries
in a family Bible).
We also have newspaper clippings of 50th wedding anniversary celebration, and
also of obituary of Benjamin Burt Squire.
The "Civil War" photograph is apparently a posed photo meant as a spoof, as
there is nothing to indicate that the sons either served in the war or on
opposing sides.
