Yes that helps. Could you give me that reference please.
Perhaps I and the authors of all the references I've seen got incorrect
info.

Thanks.

Okay, Guys:Henry  Disston brought one of his sons (Hamilton) into the
business in 1865 to generate Henry Disston & Son, and another one
(Albert) in 1871 to form Henry Disston & Sons. In fact, three other sons
also join Henry Disston & Sons even later. Does that help a bit?
