1900 Census - 1st name is very difficult to read. James' occupation - farm laborer

Andrew and Matilda's third son, Matthew enlisted in the army along with two sons of Robert White, Samuel and Robert, and Josephine Bonhotal's brother, Henry. The three served in I Company of the 96th Illinois Infantry. Matthew received a Distinguished Service commendation. Soon after the War ended Samuel and his brother Matthew married two local girls of French parentage who lived next door to one another. They may have been related on their mother's sides. Samuel married Josephine Mougin in September of 1865 and Matthew married Harriet Bonhotal in October 1865. I have found Harriet's named spelled many different ways, some of them extremely creative. I think this one is right. The 1870 census shows Matthew and Harriet living in Boone County, Iowa with two small children, Louisa J. and Ruben H. By 1880 they are back in Jo Daviess County, Rice, with children Rosie (same age as Louisa should be), Rubie, and Gerty. They are listed on the Census index, but the actual image is not available on Ancestry or FamilySearch. However the index shows them living next door to Harriet's mother, Catherine "Bonhotell" on one side and the Augustus and Catherine Mougin family on the other side. The Mougins are the parents of JosephineWhite, wife of Matthew's brother Samuel. Matthew's son Ruben married and moved to Pennsylvania.
The 1850 census shows daughter Mary age 6 (b. abt 1844). It does not show a Matthew.
The 1860 census shows son Matthew age 16 (b. abt 1844). It does not show a Mary.
Andrews Estate papers list Matthew White but not Mary White.

1860 Census spells "Mathew"American Civil War Soldiers (on Ancestry.com)
