One is John C(ole), one is John W. (John C.'s father) and John N., son of Cornelius & Belinda. John N. is 16. John C. is living with his brother James A., and they're both single. It looks very probable that John C., son of John W. & Rebecca Blankenship is the John that married Eliza Coe. I'm willing to go with that connection unless something else turns up to refute it. I will look for Eliza tonight in the 1880 census. Thanks for helping make this connection.
