Louis Mathias
b. 1854/1855
Male
Notes
- In the 1870 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Lewis resides at home with his mother and brother, David, in Blanchard Twp.
In the 1880 Franklin County, Kansas Census, a Louis Mathias, aged 25, born in Ohio, and his wife, Mary, aged 18 and born in Ohio to a father born in Canada and a mother born in Ohio, as well as their 1- year-old son, Guy who was born in Indiana, reside in 2nd Ward, Ottawa where Louis is a grocer.
The proponderence of evidence suggests that the Louis found in that 1880 Franklin County, Kansas Census is indeed the son of Paul and Barbara; Louis's brothers, Benjamin Franklin and David, definitively reside in that county, there is no evidence of Louis residing in Ohio at that time nor is there any evidence of his dying in Ohio prior to 1880. In addition, the Louis in the Census is the appropriate age to be Paul and Barbara's son. The same can be said for the Joseph Mathias found in the same county in 1880.
