1881 - 1929  (47 years)

• Name	Benjamin McGraw
  Birth	2 Jul 1881	Tracadie, Gloucester, New Brunswick
  	Cannot find a birth/baptismal record for Benjamin for this date/time in Tracadie, N.B. records as yet
  Gender	Male
  Census	1900	Philippines
  	On the 1900 census, Benjamin was listed as Burnham B. McGraw, 19 yrs. old born Oct 1881 in Maine, Private, residence in Milltown, ME Note: Found an 1880 census from Calais, ME (which Milltown was a part of) for Thomas McGraw & wife Janet with 3 daughters Mary, Gertrude & Andra; also found a marriage record for Gertrude from July 14, 1892 in Calais, ME showing parents were Thomas McGraw & Jennie Mitchell; I am assuming these were Benjamin's parents, his death record shows no parents names, can't find his marriage record as yet.
  		1900 census Phillippine Islands for Burnham B. McGraw forn 1881 in Maine
  Military	1900	Philippines
  	On the 1900 census, Benjamin is listed as Burnham B. McGraw, private, on a military ship in the Phillipine Islands, born in ME, came from Milltown, ME
  Naturalization	1907	Maine
  	On the 1920 census, Benjamin stated that he immigrated in 1907 (born in Tracadie, NB) & was Naturalized. Sent for copies of the Naturalization papers from Maine State Archives 6/5/2021 via email; they cannot find any Naturalization papers for Benjamin McGraw/McGrath; he stated on the 1900 census that he was born in ME, he was in the service from ME in the Phillipines on the 1900 census; again on the 1910 census it states that he was born in ME; on his death record it shows he was born in Tracadia, NB with no parents listed. Will give up this quest since there isn't any proof that he was born in either ME or NB except that he was in the military from ME in 1900
