Angeline Johns

Angeline Johns married Morris Carothers on March 28, 1852 in Clark County, Illinois.

In the 1850 US Census of the Richland Precinct, Clark County, Illinois, Morris is found without his wife, Sarah Morrell, who he married on December 1, 1835. As far as I know, Sarah is the mother of Clark Carothers.

Angeline Johns had been married to William Johns, who died September 1, 1851. In the 1850 US Census of Salisbury Precinct, Coles County, Illinois, page 74, William and Angeline are listed with 3 children as follows:

William Johns, age 30, birthplace: Va
Angeline Johns, age 26, birthplace: Va
Elizabeth J., age 8, birthplace: Va
Andrew J., age 5, birthplace: Ill
Rebecca A., age 3, birthplace: Ill

The children and Angeline appear with Morris in the 1860 US Census, Parker Township, Clark County, Illinois.

This information is recorded in the "History of Westfield Illinois and Northwest Clark County 1981", a publication at the Kansas State Historical Society.
