Looking for Children of John Andrew Johnson Reyburn

John Andrew Johnson Reyburn
b. 14 Mar 1857, Missouri
d. 10 Jun 1931, Napa, California
md. Sallie E. Adkins, 27 Nov 1877, Carroll, Missouri

Looking for John A.J. Reyburn’s children.

A family tree on Ancestry.com lists his children as follows:
J.E. Reyburn, male
Nannie Reyburn
Mary Alice Reyburn Grove
Mollie A Reyburn
Ora Lee Reyburn

1880 Census: Jno A Reyburn is head, S.E. Reyburn is wife, and M.A. Reyburn is one-year-old daughter. This fits with the name of Mary Alice Reyburn. Question? Is J.E. Reyburn a twin who died?

In 1900 Census, in Missouri, John Andrew Johnson Reyburn is living with his father, Joseph Henry Reyburn. The census indicates that Ora Lee Reyburn is niece to Joseph Henry Reyburn. However, it also says that Mollie is his daughter. The 1910 census indicates Mollie is JH's granddaughter.

The 1900 Census also indicates that both Mollie and Ora Lee's fathers were born in MO and mothers born in OH. Their birth dates are 18 months apart, which is enough for them to be sisters.

Josephine Smith Little

Josephine Smith, b 24 April 1910; Escondido, San Diego California

    father: Theron J. Smith, b. July 1844, Macedon, New York
    mother: Josephine Rhodes, b. 1872, Stuart, Iowa


In previous research couldn't find a clear identifier of Josephine's marriage and death date. Obituary from her brother Lomax Smith indicated that he was survived by his sisters Thera Smith of Escondido and Josephine Little from La Mesa, California.


Today found her listed in California Death Index for Josephine Little.  It listed death date 4 March 1985; mother's maiden name: Rhodes; father's name: Smith, SS# 549-09-5017. This record was found indexed on Rootsweb (http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/search.cgi). Couldn't find the same record on California Death index on Ancestry.com. 
 
The SSDI on Ancestry.com for the same SS# lists Josephine being a resident of La Mesa when she died.


 
I made a PDF copy of both records.


 

Darius Elijah Elisha James Reyburn

March 29, 2012
Big confusion and too tired to figure it out tonight. Will document conflict and work on it another time:

Thought I found Darius in the 1900 Census in the home of his son Adam K Reyburn (census in Davis, Lafayette, MO); name is spelled Raeper, but everything else about family fits. (See post about Adam Kemp or Adam Kenneth Reyburn dated 3/25/2012).

However, Darius Reyburn is in 1900 Census with Jesse Esrey, Crooked River, Ray, MO; where he has been most of his earlier life.

Also, newfamilysearch.org has a Darius Elisha Reyburn born 1843 to Darius Elisha Reyburn and Caroline Elizabeth Neale. I sent email to contributor asking for more information about two Darius's.

Today I found several records that all could be the same person, but I don't have definitive proof that they are.  This is a summary of what I found:

Record already in my files, of which the source is one of my old contacts Joanne Halterman:
