Hello,

I'm trying to discover more information about my 4th great grandfather. He was born to ? parents on 20 Dec 1786 in Perry, PA. He married Sarah Tarhey Yocum on 21 Oct 1819 in ? Ohio. He is listed in the 1830 Fed Census in Champaign, Ohio. The findagrave website has him dying 12 Jun 1835 in Keosauqua, Van Buren County. I think this is wrong and that he died 12 Jun 1855. I have him in Van Buren County in 1842 and Washington, Van Buren in the 1850 fed census. In Washington, Van Buren, Iowa in the 1852 Iowa Census. He's buried in the Forbes Cemetery in Keosauqua, Van Buren, Iowa.

I'm wondering when he migrated to Ohio, and with his parents or once an adult? What were his parent's names? What did he do for work? Do you have an obituary?
Many of the children's birth place is in PA but John married Sarah in Ohio so am confused. Perhaps they married out west, moved to the east and had most kids and then moved out west again?
