General Notes
Like his father before him, John was also a pilot in the Chester River.
In June 1841, Jane Roberts, a female servant, was living in the Township of Wepre, Golftyn, Flintshire with Edward with Mary Peers (70 & 65), a Grocer and Farmer. A neighbour was Benjamin Bennett (25), fisherman, John's brother. This is probably how she met John.
In 1843, John married Jane Roberts, the daughter of Edward Roberts. He was a fisherman (and also his father Benjamin) when he married. John and Jane were living at Crook Street (in Chester).
In 1851, John and Jane (28 & 26) were at Wepre, Flintshire with Elizabeth (6), Benjamin (5), Edward (3) and Catherine (1).
In 1861, John & Jane (38 & 37) were at Primrose Hill, Wepre, Flintshire. They had Elizabeth (16), Benjamin (15), Edward (13), Catherine (11), Samuel (7), MA (5) and Jane (3)
2 July 1863, John and Jane (40, Pilot & 38) travelled to NY on the Cynssure. With them were Elizabeth (18), Benjamin (17), Edward (15), Catherine (13), Samuel (10), Mary J (7), John (3) and Jonathan (5 months).
