John B and Deborah are both brick walls for me. I am checking the possiblity that Deborah may be the daughter of Caroline Runyon and Azariah Drake, so am looking for more info about Caroline and Azariah.
I am the great grand daughter of Luther Runyon.
In my Dad's notes, he mentioned the possibility of John's father being an Isaac, but no luck there as yet.
Most of the following information was taken from pages of an old family Bible, found among my Dad's files.
1. John B. (Byron) RUNYON.1 Born on 5 Dec 1835 in Piscataway, Middlesex Co. NJ.1 John B. (Byron) died abt 1910; he was 74. Occupation: Harness Maker.2
On 23 Jan 1858 when John B. (Byron) was 22, he first married Deborah R. DRAKE1.1 Born on 11 Sep 1842.1 Deborah R. died on 14 Oct 1874; she was 32.
They had the following children:
2 i. Luther L. (1872-1916)
3 ii. John L. (1860-~1920)
4 iii. Mary L. (1864-~1920)
5 iv. Albert J. (1866-1920)
6 v. Minnie M.H. (Died as Child) (1868-1874)
7 vi. Cornelia L. (Died as Child) (1869-1874)
8 vii. Charles P. (Died as Child) (1873-1874)
