Thanking you for all this support finding John in New York with family. The census records are great and say a lot about his life from Cornwall to USA. Cornwall was deteriorating in late 1890s and the typical industries were going , so i guess John made the big step as many did to move. From the census i see his Children never Married , so no lineage here. I appreciate your help and time with this look up and best wishes.
