Since Thomas Clark Saxton was baptized only\u00c2\u00a016 days\u00c2\u00a0after birth, the date of birth provided in this record is probably fairly accurate.<\/p>\n

In the 1851 and 1861 Canadian Census Records, Ada May’s grandparents were listed as Methodist .\u00a0 In the 1861 Canadian Census Records, Ada May, her parents, her brother Willard, and her sisters Hannah and Emily are\u00c2\u00a0listed as having no religion.<\/p>\n

The family of George and Ada May Saxton later joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints .\u00a0 What was the religion of George Saxton before he emigrated from England?\u00c2\u00a0 When did the family join the LDS Church?<\/p>\n
