The deceased came to America and to Jubilee, Jubilee township, Ill. in 1850, and on July 8, 1851 was united in marriage to Miss Ann Bird, a lady of his early boyhood acquaintance and with whom in true companionship he spent 54 years, 7 months and 20 days, at the end of which time God called him to Himself. To this couple were born six children, all of whom are living. They are, William, Robert, Richard, George, Mrs. Lizzie Challacombe and Mrs. Amelia Slane.
