• Possibly he was married to a girl named Margaret, born in Vermont, aged 19 in 1850 - for she appears, along with John, in William G’s household in the 1850 census, in Cottreville (St. Clair county), and a baby girl, Mary is after their names.1495, pp 1-2
• In 1846 John Sr. bought the steamship “Huron” from Eber Ward, brother of Sam Ward, and ran her between Detroit and Sault Ste. Marie until 1848. He then built the “Franklin Moore” and ran the same course. She ultimately broke up in a storm while being operated by his brother David.1500, p 4
