John Usher, b. N.Y. died in CO
My great grandfather was John Usher, b. 1854, N.Y, according to the 1880 Federal Census for La Plata, Co. CO.According to that census both of John's parents were also born in N.Y.I have combed the earlier censuses for a John born in 1854 and to no avail.I have looked for Johns born at an earlier/later dates and still no luck.
There is a family tale that suggested John knew the brothers of his bride, before coming to CO.John married Ziba Lucella Bartholomew on July 25, 1881, at Florida (now Bayfield), La Plata Co., CO.Her father, Zara Dan and brother A.J. Bartholomew were witness to the marriage.
John and Zibbie moved to Florida state in the 1880s where four of their children were born.They returned back to La Plata Co. prior to 1895, when their last daughter, Jenivie was born. There is a later 'tale' passed down that John was born in Ireland, but given the 1880 census results I am tempted to believe that he and his parents were born in New York state.John died in Bayfield, La Plata County, CO, in 1896, leaving a wife and four live children. Any clues?Viv
