(1) Oregon, U.S., State Births via Ancestry.com

The birth certificate for Lawrence Richard SYLVESTER, Harry SYLVESTER's son, lists Harry's birthplace as Castle Rock, Wisconsin (the 1860 Census listed Harry's parents -- Danniel Robbins SYLVESTER and Clara WINSHIP -- as living in the Town of Blue River, Grant Co., Wisconsin just prior to Harry's birth, an area served by the Castle Rock Post Office. So this is undoubtedly the same place).
