Surnames: Congleton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QEC.2ACE/2212.4.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Helen, This is the John Congleton you have been researching. His mother was named Frances and he used that name for one of his children. Since he married Dolly Hughes in 1875, the two older children - Frances and Elsworth - were born to his first wife, Martha Farley. And the two younger - Homer and Andrew - were born to his second wife, Dolly. John Congleton had a brother Lewis according to the information I have. And Lewis was married to Mary Elizabeth Stout in 1860 in Washington Co., OH. Notice Lewis' mother-in-law is named Elizabeth Stout in the 1880 Ritchie Co., WV census. Lewis named two of his children after brothers - John and Jacob.
