1854, when he went to Lucas County, Iowa. After carrying on farming there
for five years, he went to California, and was for six years actively
engaged in mining operations; returning to Iowa afterwards, he soon after
moved into Montgomery County, Mo., where, after farming there for four
years, and afterward two years in Cass County, he came to Kansas and
located here, where he has been actively identified with his present
industry since. On June 4, 1846, he married in Taylor County, Va., Miss

This looks as if Mary is Henry J.'s daughter-in-law, and there are errors
in recording the birth places of the grandchildren's parents. If these
are Milton's children, then their father would have been born in VA and
mother in VA.
