Dusseau, Paul C. (b. AUG 1920, d. AFT 1975)

Death: AFT 1975 Oregon, Lucas, OH

Death: --Not Shown--

Death: 3 JUL 2000 Wood, OH

Death: AFT 1953 Lansdowne, Delaware, PA

Note: The names of Alexander's wives are very confusing. He may have been married 2 or 3 times.

1860: Olive age 25, b. 1835
1870: Adeline age 38, b. 1832

Olive and Adeline could still be the same person even though the age is slightly different.

1875 - Alexander married Caroline [from 1900 census]

1880: Elizabeth age 35, b. 1845
1900: Caroline age 55, b. Jul 1844 [She had 5 children, 4 of them living]
Alexander had 10 children, so Caroline must have been another wife and most likely the same person as Elizabeth.
