He got off to a rough start as his mother died in childbirth the day he was born. His older brother, William Doudney became his guardian and it was he who signed the marriage agreement when John B. married at the age of 26. John married Hannah Bishop 23 January 1869 in Tipton, Cedar Co., IA but the union lasted less than ten years. They had five children: Twins William A. and Louisa M., who died shortly after birth, then my grandfather, Joseph Ellsworth, and another set of twins: Jennie and Sadie. Jennie lived two years, Sadie grew to womanhood and had a family of her own. The infants are buried in the Ayersville-Moneka Cemetery in Bennet, Iowa. For whatever reason, the only living son, Joseph, was placed in a foster home and he grew up with a German family named Escher, and later with a railroad family, the William Lukemyre's . John and Hannah parted in about 1879 in Cedar Co., IA. He married Rachel A. Smith in September 1880 and it has forever been a mystery why John and Rachel did not welcome home and raise Joseph, the son of John by his first marriage. (Years later when I discovered and talked with the descendants of John Dice Doudney, they knew nothing of the first marriage of his parents, John B. and Hannah.) John and Rachel had one son named John Dice Doudney who forever went by his middle name. John's first wife, Hannah took their daughter, Sadie and was found on the 1880 census of Linn County, IA living with one Thomas Marlow who she later married. In her later years, she denied her first marriage and indicated that her son Joseph was sired by Thomas Marlow. John served in the War Betweem the States, Co.G, Eleventh Iowa Infantry. From his then residence in Wilton, IA, he mustered at Davenport, IA on 10-05-1864 near the end of the war. Although a thorough history of the 11th is available in the usgenweb/Iowa, it's impossible to know exactly where John served since he joined late in the war. Suffice to say that he was there at the occupation of Raleigh, NC, the surrender of Col. Johnston's army, the March to Washington, D.C. and the Grand Review 1865. He mustered out on 15 July 1865 in Louisville, KY. The national cemetery in Vicksberg commemerates the service of the 11th Iowa with a fitting memorial to their brave service to their country. John B. Doudney applied for compensation from the U.S. Govt. for service in the War and I have a complete set of the papers relating to that request. There is a confusion of John's middle initial: "B" or "D" ... The former appears on the grave markers of his three deceased infants which seems the most likely.
