Was a quartz miner
Son of Matthias John App and Rebecca Heiser
---------
Son of Matthias John App and Rebecca Heiser, grandson of Matthias App and Elizabeth Buck, all of Pennsylvania. Note occasionally one will see mother as Rebecca Seiferin but this is a result of the old German script where an H looks like an S, a small s as an and finally an ending to many female names as "in". Sorry to be obtuse--but Heiser is the proper rendering of her name.
Husband of Leanna Charity Donner of Illinois. They were married 26 October 1852 and had four children.
John was part of the Walker River Emigrants who in 1853 traveled from the Carson River at Carson City, Nevada and finally settled in Tuolumne County where he became a miner.
