JOHN WAS BORN NOV. 13,1855 MARY McCREATH CARSON BORN JULY 7,1862 AND WAS BORN OAKWOOD TOWNSHIP IN THE COUNTY OF VERMILLION. I KIND OF WONDER IF HER MOTHER DIED OR MAYBE FATHER AND THE KIDS WERE PUT IN DIFFERENT HOMES TO WORK. SO SHE WAS 7 ALMOST 8 YEARS YOUNGER THAN JOHN I BELIEVE THAT IN THE 1900 WASHINGTON CENSUS THEY HAD BEEN MARRIED FOR 16 YEARS SO IT WOULD PUT THEIR MARRIAGE DATE ABOUT 1884. GENEVIEVE F. WAS THE FIRST CHILD BORN IN 1886 NOV. IN KANSAS /13 YEARS OLD 1900 WA CENSUS THEY MAY HAVE HAD A CHILD BEFORE THEY LEFT PA. THAT MAY NOT HAVE SURVIVED. BUT DON'T KNOW YET. THEN THERE WAS: JAMES R BORN 1889 IOWA/AGE 10 HELEN 1894 NEW MEXICO/AGE 5 PARK EDWARD , ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO (MY GRANDFATHER)/AGE SAMUEL, JULY1899 WASHINGTON SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO GET BACK TO YOU. HAD TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OTHER MATTERS BEFORE I COULD GET BACK TO GENEALOGY.
