Notes:

Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site - "The Josef Family Ancestry" by Gal Josef:
He was a Lawyer; admitted to the bar, Sept. 1831, and was Vermont's State Attorney for Franklin County, 1838-1839. He migrated west to Rock island, Illinois, about 1845. The route was by way of Lake Champlain, Lake George, The Eie Canal, the Great Lakes, the Illinois, Michigan Canal to the Mississippi River, then up the river to Rock Island. This place, in those days, held more of promise, then Chicago.
He was an attorney for the Rock Island Railroad, at the time the bridge was built across the Mississippi River. After, he moved to Chicago, where he made his home. Her source: Nellie Beardsley Holt's BEARDSLEY GENEALOGY, page 180.
