- John moved to Minnesota after the Civil War according to "Gallia County Ohio, People in History". There is a John living in Blue Earth County, Minnesota in the 1870 and 1880 census records. In 1880, this John Rees is age 54, b. Wales. He was a farmer. His wife was Mary, age 40, b. Ohio His has 2 stepdaughters, Maggie Roberts and Elizabeth Roberts, age 20 and 17 respectively, b. in Minnesota. All of his own children were also born in Minnesota. Annie, age 13, Emma, age 11, Ellen, age 9, Catherine, age 7, Esther, age 4; and William Rees, age 1. This doesn't appear to match the information on him in "Gallia County Ohio People in History to 1980" as stated below. (CL-711)
Any of the following Johns might be Charles son John. According to "Gallia County Ohio People in History to 1980", he had a son John and 3 others named Charles, David and George. All four of these sons are probably his 4 sons listed in the 1840 census between age 10 and 15. There don't seem to be any John's matching this age range in Gallia Co., OH records. Therefore, he might be anyone of the following instead.1) John Reese who married unknown in Addison Twp., Gallia Co., OH printed in the Aug 2, 1845 Gallipolis Journal. (Torn)2) John Rees married Harriet Smith on Aug 19, 1847 in Gallia Co., Ohio*3) John Reese, age 56 and wife Ann, age 56, both born in Wales in the 1860 census for Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH, p. 234, living right next door to Elizabeth Phillips at this point in time (his possible sister???) There is a possibility that the census taker misunderstood their ages and wrote down 56 when it should have been 36 for each of them.... or this John is born much earlier and was not a son living with Charles in the 1840 census... his age is what seems off. He is living between Elizabeth and her brother David Rees.... It has to be the same family from location and timing.4) John Rees, in the 1860 Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH census, p. 210 who was age 45, born in Wales and married to a "Jana", age 36 with children named Mary A., Ellen, John, Elizabeth, (Saml.), Evan, Daniel, and (Aaron?).5) J. Rees living in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio in 1874, Twp. 6, Range 16, section 32. If he is this one, then their is an E. Reese living adjacent to him in that same section that is a likely relative.6) John Reese, age 50 in 1880, in the Cleveland, Cuyahog Co., OH census. His parents were born in Wales. He was and Iron Mill worker. His wife was Eliza Reese, age 51 and son William, age 18 was still living at home. (CL-709)
