Census History notes for John (Spouse 1)
1860. John Kline 42 lives in Shamokin Twp with Lydia 45, Charles 15, Mary E 12, Angeline 5 and Lydia 2.
1870. John is living in Knox County, IL (near Peoria) with Asnath 29, Angline 16, Lydia 12 and Lucy L 6 months.
From the names and ages of the children, we know this is the same John Kline which confirms that the Klines did move to (near) Peoria but it would appear Lydia died and John has married second the young Asnath.
