• Notes

  Age Variation: Squire is listed as being born in 1808 in the 1840, 1870 & 1880 Census.; 1809 in the 1850, 1860, Census Name Variation: Squire is listed as Squire C Day in his marriage record with Maranda Jones. Although the general consensus is that Squire's middle name is Asberry, there is no documented proof of this. Every document I have found on his has sthe middle initial A only. None of the census records or marriage records have a a full middle name. It is likely that his middle name is Asberry, however until I can find documented proof of the middle name, I am leaving it as A. General Notes: Based on the fact that Squire has his nephew, Arthur F Day within his household in 1860, it is believed that Squire is the son of William Day and Brother to Alvin George Day. Squire and Margaret were married in 1829. Based on that date, it is believed that they have more children then are listed. Eliza was not born until 1836. Most generally, in the time frame we are talking, most couples started having children within 2 years of marriage. Based on this, it is most likely that they had an additional 2 children at least. Occupation: Squire is listed as a Farmer in the 1860, 1870 & 1880 Census.
