Mincher Family Lines - John David Mincher

John David Mincher

1850, Missouri – 1937, Arkansas

John David Mincher was born 27 November 1850 in Crawford County, Missouri to James Campbell Mincher and Lucinda Mariah Gregory.
John was the 4^th of 10 children.


His siblings were:
Andrew Jackson Mincher (1844-1941)
Elizabeth R [Mincher] Borden (1847-?)
Emily Adeline [Mincher] Britton Dicus (1849-1933)
Jonathan Littleton Mincher (1854-1932)
Benjamin C Mincher (1856-1877)
Thomas M Mincher (1858-1940)
William Jesse Mincher (1862-1940)
George Mincher (1867-1897)
Lucinda Catherine [Mincher] Smith (1870-1954)
David Jesse Mincher (?-?)


John was born late in 1850, so the 1^st census he would have appeared should be the 1860.


1860 Census:
The first census that John would have appeared would be 1860, but I have not been able to locate it.


1870 Census:

John was living in Union, Crawford Co., MO.
For some reason the age for John is listed as 8, they must have forgotten the 1 in front of the 8 since he married Harriet Clark the next year,
and I can't really see a 9 year old marrying a 19 year old.
He is living with his parents, James & Lucinda, his siblings Johnathan, Benjamin, Thomas, William and George.


Also listed on the same page, but as their own families:
John's brother Andrew (listed as James – not sure why); his wife Catherine[Borden], and two children
John's sister Emily; her husband Washington Britton, and three children
John's sister Elizabeth(Eliza); and her husband John Borden (brother of Andrew's wife Catherine), and two children.


1871 – Marriage to Harriet Ann “Hattie” Clark
29 Jan 1871 • Missouri


-In December 1872, John's brother Jonathan L Mincher married Hattie's sister Mary Susan Clark
-John's brother Benjamin married Martha Borden (sister of Catherine and John), Ben died in 1877 and
Martha then married his brother Thomas.


1880 Census:
I have not been able to locate it.

1900 Census:

Enumerated on 24^th June 1900, John was living in Upper Sebastian, Sebastian, Arkansas
He is living with his wife Harriet, and children Lucinda, Mary, Ollie(listed as Ellen), Nora, Katie(Catherine), Pearl Esther, and Francis.
This is a strange record only because it's the only one I've found with Lucinda and Francis. Also Mary is perplexing because she is on another 1900 census record with her husband Albert White and their children.
Lucinda was also married, so I wonder why they are both listed with the last name Mincher.
