Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
On the 1870 DeKalb County Federal Census, John was not listed in his household. He was show n with family # 97, Richard Davis "on farm". Matilda was listed as family # 106, so therefore , I believe he was just away at work, as he turns up in the house with Matilda in other censu s reports, and they had other children.
