Of interest:
- According to wikipedia: The term "teamster" originally referred to a person who drove a team of draft animals, usually a wagon drawn by oxen, horses, or mules. This term was common by the time of the Mexican-American War (1848) and the Indian Wars throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries on the American frontier.
- Janus' wife, Christina is the sister of Mathias' wife Pauline.
- Albert is Christina's son from a previous marriage...according to the newFamilySearch.org family group sheet Christina was married to an Albert Miller in 1869. I haven't found a census for them yet but will look for that next.
- The second daughter's name is listed in newFamilySearch as Lucinda which makes a lot more sense then Lucinida.
