Reid (age 44), his married sister Jane Eliza Brown (age 25), and his brother-in-law Asa Brown (age 24) who was listed as the head-of-household and was a mitten cutter. Also living in the same frame house is John’s grandfather Thomas Billingham (age 70) who was a laborer, his grandmother Catherine Billingham (age 68) and his cousin Ira Billingham who was a soldier in the Civil War at that time. Ira was serving as a private in the 13th New York Heavy Artillery for a three year enlistment, having enlisted in 13 July 1864.775
