John Wesley LOLLEY

(Abt 1832 - 23 Jun 1890)

John, being the oldest son, was entitled under British law to inherit the family fortune. The money had been left in escrow, but when he returned to England to retrieve it, the government would not allow him to take it out of the country. He was only allowed to take some clothes and a small copper or brass piece made in the shape of a shamrock. (Estella Gunell Taylor)

It's difficult to pinpoint John's year of birth according to various census he was born in 1833 (1860 census) - 1834 (1870 census) - 1831 (1880 census). The Family Data Collection at Ancestry.com gives his birth date as 4 May 1828 in London, Devonshire, England.

On May 13, 1886 John was listed as a member of the Westmoreland, Kansas Post, No. 151, G.A.R.
