We have two birthdates and are unsure if there are two of them or just one. Birthdates: 15 Jan, 1822 and 15 Jan, 1842. We have a burial site in Van Buren Cemetery in Missouri with death date of 7 Jan 1880. We also have two possible wives: Sally Peck and Nancy Jane (Alburty) Hall the Yeoman. I have found his son John Hogan (known as Hoage) listed as signing civilian cards in 1917-18 in Grant County. John also had two sons signing cards in that same year. They were Claude and Loren JARVIS. We have letters listed on the JARVIS web-site showing that he was in Kansas with the Douthits but I'm not sure what county. Any help would be appreciated. No one seems to know anything about him. ------------------------------ TAYLOR...BAUER Patti Dodgen (mossyballs@aol.com) 27 August 1998 I am looking for TAYLOR's and BAUER's of Kansas ....Not sure of exact location.
