I am researching the Junior family. I know they arrived in Vigo in the mid-1850's. My
relative is Alexander Junior. I find him listed on the 1850 census as an 18 year old
living with William Junior (age 29). I know this can't be his father. Need help making the
connection back. I know there were a James and Joshua Junior who owned land. Can you help
with the connection?
