Notes

In the 1870 Census, John is listed with Ellen Gensler. I have not found the marriage record for them and thus do not know what her maiden name might be. And I do not know when she died, except that by 1900 he was widowed.

I have not found John in the 1880 census to determine if Ellen was still living at that time. John's mom and some siblings were in Missouri by 1880 and It is probable that John was also in Missouri in 1880.
