1. William Proudfoot was born about 1823 in Scotland. Other Events and Attributes:
- Alt. Birth: 1825
Notes:
His Obituary claimed he left Scotland at the age of 28, about 1853, where he first stayed in Toronto, Canada for two years before making his way to Wisconsin. My best guess is they could've met in Canada and traveled together to Wisconsin or met i n Wisconsin when he arrived there. An interesting note is that the same
1860 Census does not show William Proudfoot (Proudfit) but Mary already had her married name then and their first born child Margaret born in late 1859 when they were in Louisiana working on a steamship going up and down the Mississippi river befo re the outbreak of the Civil War to which they traveled back to Wisconsin.
