Notes:
Data source is Kathie McCutcheon-Gawne. e-mail tgawne@shaw.caIn the book "Canadian Veterans War of 1812" by Eric Jonasson 1981, lists a Henry Muma being born ca. 1778
Data source was the Muma Family Tree website which is no longer active.
Note by Doug Mumma - In the previous MUMA database, a Henry MUMA was listed as the son of Jacob and Betsy Muma as being born about 1802 in Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada. This is possible, however the following Henry Muma entry is much more likely a son of Jacob and Betsy.
