Biography

John was born in 1796. He passed away in 1870.

Notes: There may be a child John from more than one marriage.

Additionally, The child John from 1850 appears to have moved out by 1860. The 1860 census has a 12 year old son John. However, there is a 30 year old Mary who does not appear to be his wife? Perhaps The 12 year old John is her son? That would explain the sudden appearance of both. Perhaps a daughter in law and grandson? This 12 year old John has not been added as a child, due to uncertain parentage.
