and wife, Mary, lived in Lucas County Ohio and Whitley County Indiana and had at least the
following children

John M. was married to Elizabeth prior to 1860. They were divorced in 1863. John served
twice for the Union, first in the infantry then in the 12 Indiana Cavalry. John later
moved on to Decatur County Iowa and Lincoln County Kansas before staying in Topeka where
he died in 1911.
