2 1850 US Census (Loran, Stephenson County, Illinois). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists John Shoemaker [sp. Shuemaker] (age 50, b. NJ), wife Elizabeth (age 49, b. IN) and children William (age 17, b. IN), Jane (age 17, b. IN), Margaret (age 14, b. IN) and Sarah (age 8, b. IL), living in Loran, Illinois. This is the only census found so far in which John and Elizabeth appear with their children. John is listed as a "farmer." Living two houses away is their daughter Eleanor Lowell and her family. Also living nearby is the family of Moses Grigsby, whose son, George, will marry the Shoemaker's daughter, Margaret. Living next to the Grigsby's is John's cousin, Calvin Curry, and his family. This record indicates that the Shoemaker's were living in Indiana between 1832-1841, and moved to Illinois by 1842.

3 1840 US Census (Honey Creek, Vigo County, Indiana). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 3. Lists John [spelled Jno, for Jonathon] Shoemaker (age 30-40, b. 1800-1810), wife (age 30-40, b. 1800-1810) and children 2 males (age 5-10, b. 1830-1835), 1 male (age 10-15, b. 1825-1830), 1 female (age <5, b. 1835-1840), 1 female (age 5-10, b. 1830-1835), 1 female (age 10-15, b. 1825-1830) and 2 females (age 15-20, b. 1820-1825), living in Honey Creek, Indiana. This information lines up well with the family members we know of. There are three additional children on this census that we do not yet have information on. Numerous relatives of this family are also living in Honey Creek at this time, including John's aunt, Mary Curry Clem. The name Jonathon is likely this man's correct given name, as his grandfather was Jonathon Long.
