By 1850 he was listed in the US Census of Green Township, Platt Co., MO, age 34, with a wife, Nancy, and five children. The oldest child, John, was born in Kentucky about 1838, and the others - Catherine, James, William and Vienna - were born in Missouri beginning in 1841. Living in the same township were his sister, Elizabeth May Hill - wife of Ephraim E. Hill. In August 1860 he was living in Bourbon Co, Kansas with his wife, six children and two teenage workers in the household.
