They reared four children: JOHN (deceased), MRS. ELIZABETH CARSON, JOSEPH and DAVID. The last named serviced in the 103d P. V., under Gen. McClellan, and died in the service. The father was for many years superintendent of a coal mine at Hanging Rock, Ohio, and died at Portsmouth, same state, at age over 70 years.
