This John was still living in 1880 Census, Washington Co., Ohio, and his wife's name was Jane. The only other John that I have that could possibly fit your description is really too young to have been married and in the Civil War by 1861 as he was born in 1844 in Ohio. There are many descendants of my Hoskin/s line in Van Buren Co., IA, and not far away in Missouri and Illinois, but I do not have complete family names for most of these. One clue to follow is the Civil War record for your John -- he probably enlisted in his home county and you might find brothers or uncles in the same unit.
