1900 Census shows immigrated in 1883 - since there are children born in Maine before that,
that is when they moved to WI

Baptist

John Creamer ran away from home at about age 7
served as a cabin boy aboard a Canadian (navy?) ship
about age 23, he and another sailor were rivals for Frances Isabella Stephenson
during a fight, the other sailor was knocked overboard and lost at sea
when the ship docked, John Creamer jumped the border to Calais ME
he married FIS there
they never returned to Canada while FIS was alive - John Creamer fearing that
he could be arrested on charges from the fight
after FIS died, he did go to Canada
while drunk, he was rolled and all his money and identification stolen, and
left laying in snow and cold until found
police held him in jail until the landlady at his rooming house remembered that
he had a daughter in Wisconsin
Susan Victoria Creamer Smith went to Canada to get her father
as a result of the exposure, one leg was amputated
Ruth Smith remembered her grandfather rolling down the sidewalks of Marinette
in a wheelchair, drunk

Notes:

!Census Canada 1841 Prince Edward Island Queens County District 6 Lots 29,30,31,65
John Creamer (Cremar)
2 males under 16; 1 male 45 to 60; 1 female under 16; 1 female 16 to 45; 1 female 45 to 60

served in the British Army from 25 March 1810 to 15 Sep 1829; 19 years 175 days;
discharged from the 81st Regiment of Infantry; discharge papers

memoir of his great-granddaughter Mary Ready, Mrs James D Flood
states that when he was dying, his son William tried to fetch a priest.
since William's children were all born in New Brunswick, the earliest in 1845,
John Creamer probably died in the early 1840s - 1841-1844

Parish register for Granard Parish, County Longford lists only one John Creamer born
during the 1780's and 1790's; with father Bernard and siblings Mary, Patrick, Hugh
and Bernard; as these also seem to be family names for William Creamer's siblings,
I assume that the John Creamer in the parish register is the correct John Creamer
army discharge papers list age 21 at enlistment in 1810; however this may have been
age "over 21"

also listed in the parish register is a Hugh Creamer married to a Mary McCormick in
Feb 1789 and children Hugh (Mar 1791) Margaret (Mar 1796) and Bernard (Aug 1798)
could this be Bernard Creamer (John Creamer's father)'s brother?

John — Margaret (Hattie) (MacGuire) Maguire. Margaret was born Abt 1795, Ireland; died Prince Edward Island, Canada; was buried Kelly's Cross, Prince Edward Island, Canada. [Group Sheet]
