John Shroyer b. c 1838 IN>Nodaway Co. MO
I'm trying to trace the ancestry of my 3ggrandfather John Shroyer.
1. John Shroyer was born c. 1838 in Indiana, according to the 1880 Census for Independence Twp., Nodaway Co. MO (Vol. 25, Enumerator's District 253, Sheet 19, Line 48). His wife's name is given as Julia A., born c. 1838, Indiana. The "Henry County, Indiana Index to Marriage Records E-K Book 1 Vol 2 1850-1920" has the following listing:"Elliott Julia A + John Shroyer (???) CC-4 389". The question marks are where the date should be. In Vol. 4 of the same index is "Shroyer Caroline + John ElliottMay 16 1865 CC-3 259."
John and Julia moved to Illinois around 1860, as the 1880 Census gives their eldest son's birthplace as in that state. The youngest child listed in that census is born 1878 also in IL. Therefore, they moved to Nodaway Co. MO between 1878- July 1880. There are several other Shroyer families living in Nodaway Co. around this time. No connection has been established yet.
John was apparently living in St. Joseph, Buchanan Co. MO in 1896 as the city directory has him listed. John's name last appears in the city directory in 1899.
According to the 1880 Census John and Julia had eight children.
Issue:
2. William A., b. c. 1860 IL
3. Ira Edward, b. Jul 1864 IL
4. Hattie D., b. c. 1866 IL
5. Roy A., b. c. 1868 IL
6. Mary, b. c. 1870 IL
7. Curtis C., b. c. 1874 IL
8. Charles T., b. c. 1876 IL
9. Harry W., b. c. 1878 IL

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
