Giles Warren Bronson^1,2,3,4

• Father*: Barnabus "Barny" Brunson² b. 1805, d. 11 Jun 1882
• Mother*: Elizabeth "Betsy" Stone² b. 1814

• Birth*: 1842; Percy Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Date 1843 & location Pennsylvania per 1920 Census. Date 1842 & location Pennsylania per 1910 Census. Date 1843 & location Pennsylvania per 1900 Census. Date 1840 & location Cda. per 1885 Census. Date 1843 & location Ont. per 1881 Census. Date 1843 & location Ont. per 1871 Census. Date 1843 & location UC per 1861 Census. Date 1842 & location Cda. per 1851 Census.
  Note: In 1851 Census United States was written in for birth place but appears to have been stroked out. Or maybe it was written over top of D.... to mean he was born in the US??? Census records in Ontario show born in Ontario and later records in the US show born in Penn. - but not all - see 1885. What is the real story here? Is he not a son of Barnabus but living with them?? Could they have been travelling in the US when he was born? Any one have any ideas?^2,5,6,7,4
• Marriage*: circa 1872; Northumberland Co., Ontario; The 1920 Census for Giles and Maggie Bronson show that William H. Bound is living with them - a brother-in-law. That means Margaret was a "Bound" not "Bond" as we see repeated in most records. Can't find the marriage record, which would be really good, but all other stuff matches up perfectly.; Principal=Margaret J. "Maggie" Bound⁴

  Note: The information here is curious. Giles Warren Brunson was a son of Barnabus Brunson and appears to have lived with his father at Conc 3, Lot 2, Seymour, near Meyersburg during this time. He was born in 1842 in Percy, before Barnabus moved to Seymour. Is there ANOTHER Giles Brunson in this area???⁸

• Note*: circa 1890; Bronson, Kittson Co., Minnesota, U.S.A.; "The Town of Bronson, Minnesota, was named after Giles and Margaret Bronson, early settlers in the area. The town was renamed Lake Bronson in the last 1930's after a dam was built and the Bronson homestead was flooded to become part of the lake. Lake Bronson is in Kittson County, Minnesota." item on ancestry.com contributed by julie7808 on Feb 2 2009, copied here Apr 18 2011.³

Cda. & Minn., grandson (1910 Census: Percy Twp., Kittson, Co., Minnesota, pg. 1 of 6, line 1 - ancestry.com)
  Note: Note the name of the Township - Percy - right from home! That in spite of Giles indicating he was born in Pennsylvania - what's that about???⁴
• Census: 9 January 1920; Percy Twp., Bronson Village, Kittson Co., Minnesota, U.S.A.; Age 77 at 1920 Census: Bronson, Giles W., 77, b. Penn., p.b. Cda. & NY, farmer, married; Maggie, 68, b.

  Note: William H. Bound is Margaret's brother from Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario. This is what allows us to connect this Margaret, born 1851 in Ontario, to her family in Ontario. It is "Bound" and not "Bond" as we see in many records.⁴
