    • John F. Fletcher ca 1818 9 Dec 1885 Fulton Telegraph (Callaway Co.) Callaway Weekly Gazette

      age varies... on 1850 census he is 28 born 1822, on 1860 census he is 44 born 1816, on 1870, he is 53 born in 1816, on death notice above, listed as 1818. On his headstone, he was born July 28, 1816.

      When his wife died in 1860, he had 11 children all still at home, 9 daughters and 2 sons. The youngest only one month old. From what I have found, he kept his family together and raised them all himself.
