  • Notes 
    • He does not appear in the 1870 census with his family. He would have been a baby.

      In the 1905 Ontario County Journal it said he opened a new store in the former Continental Bakery stand on Main, just South of Bristol Street in Canandaigua. Besides the full line of groceries, he will make a specialty of the Tuckerton sausage, hams and bacon, all made by him under an old recipe, and just about the most toothsome and delicacies imaginable. The Tuckerton grocery and market promises to fill every want. (Hanley) [1]

      "Those were the days when the Wilcox delivery boat operated by Charles H. Brockelbank made a tour of the lake so that summer residents could buy groceries at the docks at Cottage City, Woodville and elsewhere. There were three lake boats that made cruises -- the "Onnalinda", the "Ogareta", and the Oriana". "
