John and Lucretia had a least 3 children. He died at the age of 71 in Jefferson Co., Iowa. Source: 1860 census Batavia P.O. Locust Grove Twp., Jefferson Co., Iowa image 28 John Downey60FarmerKY Lucinda45KY Deborah18IN Henry16FarmerIN Amanda14IA In Nicholas Co., Kentucky in 1830 census John had three children. Two boys under five and a girl five to ten. In Rushville Twp., Rush Co., Indiana 1840 he had six children. One boy under five, two boys five to ten, one girl under five, one girl ten to fifteen and one fifteen to twenty. Doesn't have a wife. Deborah must have died and he hadn't married Lucretia yet. I think the girl fifteen to twenty is Martha L.. Skilman Doughty lived right next door, in Rush Co., Indiana. I can't figure out where the extra girl came from. In the 1830 census in Nicholas Co., Kentucky, Sarah Downie is on same page. I don't know why but that year they spelled it Downie and not Downey. The 1820 census spelled it Downey.
