| Notes |
John was born in Maryland and as a young boy moved to Illinois with his parents and brothers. He spent his boyhood and youth in the county. In the census of 1860 he was listed as age seventeen. At the out-break of the civil war he joined the union army august 8, 1862. He enlisted in company I, 96th Illinois infantry and was assigned to the army of the Cumberland. He participated in the battle of Chickamauga, where he was seriously wounded in the left shoulder. As a result of this injury he was confined about one year in the hospitals in Chattanooga and Nashville. While lying helpless, on the field he was captured by the confederates, but two weeks later was paroled and taken in charge by the union forces. After his hospital stay, he returned to patrol duty and remained with his regiment, until after the close of the war, receiving his honorable discharge may 25, 1865.
Upon leaving the army he returned to his home and begin farming. His property was in Hanover township of 160 acres on section 14. In 1868, he married Jane Caroline Young, the daughter of Robert and Jane Carlisle young who were natives of Ireland. There were eight children born to this union. They were Ellen (Nellie), john Wesley, Mary J. (Minnie), Anna Belle, Cora a., Theresa (Tressie), Frances, and
Benjamin. On august 13, 1903, john and his wife were crossing the Mississippi river between Hanover and Bellevue, Iowa townships, with a team of horses, when the bridge collapsed. John could swim, but his wife could not. She was rescued by a friend named John Rodden, but john lost his life. One of the theories was that he was kicked in the head by one of the horses. After John's death Jane lived with her
Daughter Tressie. John and his wife, Jane, are buried in the Hanover cemetery in Illinois.
