Has land in sections 15, 24, and 26 of LeRoy Twp in 1875 (1875 Atlas of Bremer Co). His second wife was the mother of his daughter Mary Jane’s husband.

John's brother George and his brother James both married Warners. Unknown if there is a connection to his second wife Jane. James settled in Winneshiek Co, IA. He also married Sarah Horton, who is likely a sister to John's third wife Charlotte Horton Ditmar. James lived next door to his (likely) inlaws William and Olive Horton. A visit to him was perhaps how John met Charlotte.
