The son of John and Ann P. Brindleson, his father was born in Sweden and mother in England.
John, a Carpenter, immigrated to the U.S. from New Brunswick prior to April 12, 1855 when he married Susan S. Adams, the daughter of Nevel and Mary, at Boston. They were the parents of two known children, Henry "Harry" W., born on Jan. 25 1856 at Medford, MA and George Leslie, who died in infancy in April 1860.
John became a widower when his wife Susan died at age 32 on June 15, 1864. John himself died of Phthisis (Tuberculosis) at his home located at 32 Leeds St., South Boston.
According to the August 4, 1870 Census, John's son Henry, then 15 years old, was attending school at the Massachusetts Nautical School based in East Boston. The school, which operated from 1860 to 1872, taught adjudicated delinquent youths seamanship and navigational skills aboard the George M. Barnard, a 900 ton vessel named after its benefactor, a wealthy Boston merchant. Boys who successfully completed the training were then transferred to positions aboard merchant ships, however, the program closed due to the fact that few of the youths graduated.
