Seeds of Promise

John's parents, his four sisters, and his one brother came to America on board the "Buena Vista" in 1849. Both his parents died before he could ever see them again. John, his wife Mary, and their two little boys, John and Joseph, came to America on board the "Joseph Badger" in 1850. They all fell victim to cholera between New Orleans and St. Louis that same year. See Seeds of Promise by Clifford L. Ashton, 1983.
