I have some more info on John Truesdale (I have it spelled Truesdell).  He is in my database because he married into one of my family lines.  My info says he was born Feb 9, 1829 in Rising Sun, Indiana.  His first wife was Almira Crews (1833-1874) whom he married on March 13, 1855 in Randolph Co., MO.  I have 4 children listed for them - Annie (who married a Clifton), Obeton, John and James.  His first wife was buried in the Old Vernon Cemetery in Randolph Co.  His second wife was Rebecca B. Stiles daughter of Simeon Oliver Stiles and Rebecca Ann Hanna.  Rebecca B. was born Oct 22, 1852 and died Oct 10, 1932.  She was the sister of my gg grandfather William Henry Stiles.  John and Rebecca were married on Jan 10, 1878 in Renick, Randolph Co., MO.  I have four children for this marriage too - Simeon, Jerry, Elizabeth, Samuel.
