Miss. He married Ellen Washington, born in Calif. Don't know where they were married. They moved to Texas finally settling in Oklahoma. Thought there might be a connection to your John due to the close proximity of the dates of birth of John & James. Do you know John's parents names? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Donna
