That he was born January 17,1830 in St. Charles County, MO. He was five feet, five inches tall and had blue eyes and red hair. First he married Rhoda Johns and had four children. She divorced him and he married Mildred Younger. He and Mildred had five children. Even all the children's names were given. They had traveled a great deal so there was lots of information in his file. He died February 6,1906 at Raymond, Madera County, CA. We don't know why he went to Raymond. His wife continued to draw his war pension after his death and she reported they went to California because they could sleep outside and didn't have to rent a place to live. John wasn't a dummy. He could read and write. One of his attorneys wrote in his report that it wouldn't be wise to refuse John his pension as he would just take it to a higher court. Also he could charm anyone with his manner. Source: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~blogan/v03n11.doc "John Henry/Harrison Van Bebber of New York Dutch stock appears to have arrived on Lewis River with the earliest settlers. In 1853 or 54 he married Rhoda John and four children resulted from this union". He and some others outfitted a ship in San Francisco and were about ready to put to sea when grandfather was tipped off that the U. S. Government was preparing to arrest the entire crew as pirates. He beat the law to Mexico. Rhoda got a divorce in 1862, granted by the Washington Legislature. "Later he was associated with the James boys, Jesse and Frank in Missouri and married Marinda Younger, full sister of Cole Younger, who is credited with being the brains of the James Boys gang. Additional Information: "For some reason, not passed on down the family history, John Henry disappeared. Probably the quiet Lewis River scene palled and he struck out for greener pastures. He must have been a reader of Captain Kidd and Jesse James stories and maybe he helped create the Jesse James legend. Anyway thru the mist of fact and fiction as related by his grandson Lloyd. He and some others outfitted a ship in San Francisco and were about ready to put to sea when grandfather was tipped off that the U. S. Government was preparing to arrest the entire crew as pirates. He beat the law to Mexico and I don't believe ever came back till after Grandmother Rhoda got a divorce in 1862, granted by the Washington Legislature. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS BOZARTH was a member of the Legislature at that time and secured the passage of the bill that authorized the divorce." (Chris and Rhoda were married the following year.) Lloyd continues, "Later Grandfather was associated with the James boys, Jesse and Frank in Missouri and married Marinda Younger, full sister of Cole Younger, who is credited with being the brains of the James Boys gang. I remember my father saying that his father was the fastest and best shot with a rifle or revolver he had ever seen."
