Census Records for John W. and Mary Hartson Lolley

June 4, 1860
Douglas, Marquette County, Wisconsin

In 1860 John and Mary Lolley are found living with John's mother Susanna and his step-father William. The earliest record of the family in Wisconsin is John and Mary's marriage on October 28, 1854.

August 2, 1870
Jackson, Johnson County, Missouri

In 1864 John enlisted in the Wisconsin Volunteers. He was so ill when he was discharged at the end of the war that Mary and Lorenzo drove a team and wagon 640 miles to Indiana to bring him home. In Martin County, Minnesota he became too weak to travel further, so the family was moved to him. They lived in Minnesota until October 1866 when John's doctor recommended a warmer climate for his health.

The 1870 census finds them in Johnson County, Missouri with three additional children - Mary Jane, George William, and Asa Horatio. No occupation was given for the Sally McBride who was living with the family. Could she have been related to Prudence McBride who married John's brother George?

June 26, 1880
Rock Creek, Pottawatomie County, Kansas

In 1870 the family moved to Kansas which is where they were found in the 1880 census. John and Mary died in Pottawatomie County - John in 1890 at the age of 61, and Mary in 1899 at age 59.
