I am a descendant of Cyrenus (Sirenus) J. Miner and his wife Nancy Elizabeth Barnum.He wrote his name as "Sirenus" on the marriage license of his daughter Nellie Miner and this is also how his name appears in the 1885 Nebraska census.My grandfather carried his name as his middle name (Joshua Sirenus Houlgate).
I was delighted to discover your posting.On the census he reported that his father was born in Prussia.However, your information is that his father was "born in about 1797 in New York."Please let me know the source of your information and whether you have discovered any more about the ancestry of Cyrenus/Sirenus.
