Thomas
Alva
Edison
visiting
his
birthplace
in
Milan
,
Ohio
on
August
11
,
1923
. The
Edison
family
moved
to
Canada
at the
end
of the
American
Revolution
with
others
who
had
taken
the
side
of the
British
king
rather
than the
American
colonists
. In the
1830s
, the
family
was
forced
to
flee
Canada
due
to
Edison's
father
Samuel's
participation
in the
unsuccessful
Papineau-MacKenzie
Rebellion
against
the
Canadian
government
.
Samuel
and
Nancy
Elliot
Edison
and their
children
settled
first
in
Milan
,
Ohio
and then in
Port
Huron
,
Michigan
.
Edison
(1847-1931)
gained
fame
as an
inventor
,
registering
a
total
of
1,093
patents
for
such
innovations
as the
incandescent
light
bulb
, the
phonograph
, and the
moving
picture
camera
. As a
boy
,
Edison
was
boxed
in the
ears
by an
angry
train
conductor
after
he
destroyed
a
box
car
when
his
science
experiments
exploded
.
Edison
pointed
to the
incident
as the
cause
of his
loss
of
hearing
,
which
worsened
throughout
his
life
.
