Notes - In the 1860 census he is in Iowa Township, Jackson County, Iowa, where he is listed as "Rent Farmer." In the 1870 U.S. Census his occupation is listed as: "Evangelical Afeonster Minister Of Gospel."
One can speculate that he moved around as a minister: His homes are listed as: Iowa Township, Jackson County, Iowa (1860); Ottawa, LaSalle County, IL (1870); Washington, Tazewell County, IL (1880); Sterling, Whiteside County, IL (1900); still there in 1910, but now listed as widowed; and in Groveland, Tazewell County, IL where his occupation is listed as "none" (1920).
In the 1860 census he (at age 27) is shown e home with Susan Eller, age 19 (did he marry before the date we have listed?); Remous Eller, age 1; Henry Eller, age 19; along with Susan Miller, age 53 (perhaps his mother-in-law), and William D. Smith, age 40, listed as a farmer. [3]
