Note: the "Warren County, Kentucky Marriage Records (MSS230)"

from Western Kentucky University:

lists this marriage bond as "Sturgeon, John Jr. and Catharine Cannon" 1847

I assume "Jr" implies his father's name was also John.

Note: some sources say John and Catherine were married by Rev John Sturgeon SR. his father.

I have not been able to confirm this with marriage records, or if was his father.

Married about 1848, based on 1900 census; married 52 years

1864: Draft Registration:

U.S., Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865 about John Sturgeon

Name: John Sturgeon

Residence: ??b District, Barren, Kentucky <--- looks like Warren to me

Class: 2

Congressional District: 3rd

Age on 1 July 1863: 41

Estimated birth year: abt 1822

Race: White

Occupation: Farmer

Place of Birth: Hent KY <--- looks like Hart to me

Note: There are MANY John Sturgeons, but ours was the only one born in Hart Co

that was born around 1822.

1865: Civil War Relatives:

Hart Co, KY Civil War Soldiers, from Civil War prison databases,

Sturgeon, James, Co I, 26th KY Infantry

Sturgeon, John H., Co K, 26th KY Infantry

Sturgeon, Truax, Co K, 26th KY Infantry

NOTE: These 3 individuals all appear to be sons of John's uncle Obediah Sturgeon(b.1805).

Several sources show "our" John with an middle initial of "H", and I assume that this

Civil War record is where that originated. However, our John never used a middle initial.

Obediah's son John used middle initial "H" on many records, and Obediah's 3 sons were in

their mid-20's during the war. "Our" John was in his 40's.
