Hi,
Can anyone help me prove that John Joseph Junio, a cigar manufacturer and labor activist, is a child of my 3x gt uncle, John Joseph Junio (1816 - abt 1865) and his wife Catherine Gordon who married Halifax, Nova Scotia 4/2/1845. They seem to have had a son John Joseph Junio, who married Emilie Meyer in Manhattan 15/9/1897.
John J. Junio, the labor activist, seems to have been born Boston, Mass in 1842 or March 1845 & died Oswego, NY 16/9/1904.
I think he married 1st., Ella L. (surname unknown) in Syracuse 1860, separated 1884, and had 3 children, 2 died young & John G. born NY 1862 died 1880-84.
John J. snr. then seems to have tried to bigamously marry Ida M. Brewer, née Kinney at Syrace, Wednesday 12/11/1884 She was born Philadelphia March 1862, and spent her earlier life in Winsted, Conn. They had a dau Marion E. Junio b NY Jan 1886.
I'm not sure whether he is also the same person who marr Emilie Meyer in 1897??
My 2x gt grandmother Mary Jean Junio (or De Junio) was born Halifax abt 1821 where the Junio family seemed to come from initially. 2 brothers Joseph & Maximilian, both cigar makers moved to the Boston, Cambridge, Charlestown areas of Mass. abt mid 1840s. There parents were Joseph Junio, joiner/mechanic & Ann dau of Charles & Jeanne Len(n)ox of Halifax.
Any more information to try and prove the above connection or any other connection would be gratefully received.
