I'm trying to figure out if he is a missing relative. I have only been able to find him in the 1880 Federal census for Mankato. This John was born abt 1849 in Wisconsin. John' occupation was listed as a Engineer. Parent's were from Germany (Bavaria). His wife was Mary. She was born abt 1850 in Prussia. Their children were Anna, born abt 1871 in Wisconsin. Lizzie was born abt 1872 in Wisconsin. Henry was born abt 1874 in Wisconsin. Clara was born abt 1875 in Wisconsin. Any help is appreciated.
