Note: John was living in Davis County, Kansas in 1870 next to Catherine Hodges. She was probably a cousin. Geary County was originally named "Davis County" in 1855, after then Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis. After the Civil War, citizens of Davis County complained about living in a county named for the President of the Confederate States of America. Finally in 1889, the county's name was changed to honor John W. Geary.
