This 1880 Census for Acton, Maine was attached at the time of the gedcom import labeled "Birth." No person on this page is old enough to be John or his wife. There are Grants enumerated that could possibly be their children. As of 14 Nov 2023, FamilySearch appears to have combined at least some of John and his brother Jonathan's children. Another possibility is that the brothers' had children born around the same time with the same name. ^[9]
