Additional information courtesy of Dennis Brandt:

He married Margaret I. Reed and fathered Cordilia Lillian (b.06/28/60 - married Jacob R. Hertzog), Hulda A. (b. 06/06/66), Flora E. (b. 12/16/72 - married Daniel F. Duttinger), and Lucin (b. 01/06/75). In 1860, he was a minister living in Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and stood 5' 5" tall with dark hair and gray eyes.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg September 9, 1864, as a private with Co.
