In 1860 John moved to Hyde Park where he stayed with Mr. And Mrs. Thomas Rogers (the same family that had kept and sheltered William's daughter, Maria, in St. Louis (seemingly small event at that time).
John married Sophronia Rosanna Molen [born-16 Dec 1837 in Springfield, Bureau, IL] on July 31, 1862. They were the first couple to be married in Hyde Park. Like most early settlers in Deseret, they first lived in a dugout but eventually built a neat two-roomed log cabin. To them were born eleven children. Four died very young, seven reached maturity (Naomi, Mary, Inez, John, Florence, Jesse T. and Guy L. Rees).
