• Notes

  There is no proof that the Amos Boutilier who appears in Utica NY in 1910 is Amos s/o Edward and Isabella. However, the 1920 Census of NY tells us that he first arrived in the US in 1870 and was naturalized in 1880. Amos, s/o Edward and Isabella, is in the 1871 Census of NS but cannot be found in the 1881 or 1901 Censuses of Canada. Since the 1870 date of first arrival in the US is 50 years old, this seems a close enough match to conclude that Amos, s/o Edward did emigrate to the US in the 1870's. Further, in the 1910 Census, the age of the NY Amos exactly matches that of Amos s/o Edward and Isabella (in 1920, it is off by one year). So it seems probable that these two Amos Boutilier's are the same person. Alice, William, and Robert, who are his step-children, are clearly the children of his half-brother Ennis and Mary (Knittel) BOUTILIER who, in 1910, reports that three of her six children have died.
