Do you have a question?

Oh, yes. I'm looking for this John's parents.  I have his wife's line, but I'm stuck trying to go back any further on his line.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  I've been searching for 41 years now.  Thanks so much

Thanks so much.  I do find him listed on several censuses, I have a copy of his will, and I have children as well.  But I can't find any document listing his parents.
