Strain, John A. found in US Census of 1870 for Polk Co. Madison Township, Missouri: STRAIN, John A. farmer 1800-325 age 72 M b. TN Jane keeping house age 65 F b. TN DRAKE, William farmer age 24 M b. TN TACKET, Caroline age 27 F b. MO Census shows him living with his wife named Jane, aged 65. This person has not been previously known. It is possible that Sarah Brewer had Jane as part of her name, such as Sarah Jane BREWER STRAIN, but this is not known. Also, since we do not know the death date of Sarah BREWER, Jane may indeed be a second wife to John Allison STRAIN. Also shown, in the same household, is a male DRAKE, a farmer who probably helped John with the farm, and a female TACKET, who probably helped with the household chores. 5. Next door to John is son David STRAIN. Census Polk Co. MO 1870 Madison Township: STRAIN, David farmer 2100-525 age 32 M b. TN Mary L. keeping house age 24 F b. MO Sarah W. age 3 F b. MO John A.
