Harriet,s son Sylvester (who she is buried with in Springfield NJ) is another one that I find interesting. He had two wives, both from Cornwall. He went back for a few months and came back to NJ with his first wife. When the first wife died he went back to Cornwall and a few months later came back with his second wife…

1900 US Census age 20 living in Millburn with his Uncle William and his family. Indicates he came to the US in 1898 and was a mason 
1908 marriage to Louisa Jane Davey in Redruth England or Janie Louise Davey
1908: Found immigration record in 1908 arrival New York to go to New Jersey  
1910 US Census living in Millburn name listed as "pautz" however in looking at record it appears to be Painter. His age 31 and married 2 years. Wife is Jane, age 28, born in England and 1893 which does not make sense since English marriage record say they were married in 1908 unless they returned to get married in England. They have son John R who is 2 months old. Believe middle name R is Russell as it is given in other census reports. 
1912 found ship record for entry into the United states for Louisa Jane Paynter, age 30 housewife, and John Russell Paynter age 3. No mention of Sylvester. was child born in NJ (which is indicated on census reports) or England?
