John Wickensimer and Kate Richter Wickensimer |
|
|
Grandma Kate, her sister, Ann Acton, and unknown girl with her dog |
| John and his mother, Mariah, arrived in
America in approximately 1869. In the 1880 United States Census, John and
Mariah are found
living in Deer Creek Township, Pickaway County, Ohio. John's occupation is
listed as farmer. John
lists his age as 22, Mary 58. There is no history of where the Wickensimers lived for the 10-year period between 1880 and 1890 because a fire in a federal building destroyed most of the census records for that time. |
|
John became a citizen in 1880. |
