Looking for info on John DEBOBEN born abt 1819 in Germany, married Augusta _____ .  Had three children, John H., Catharine, George.

George married Jane ALLINGER June 1880 (according to IGI).  He and Jane are living with Gotlieb ALLINGER in 1880 census.  George died in 1908 in Springfield, buried Glen cemetery in Shelby County.

The IGI records three marriages for John -- 1868 to Susan WARFELDT, 1878 to Emma HUSSEY, 1885 to Jennie WIRTZ. John H. is married to Emma in 1880 census and has a daughter, Pearl Blanch (age 2).  Emma is also buried at Glen cemetery as "widow of John H.")

There is a K. DEBOBEN in Cincinnati on 1880 census living with Jacob FOX family.  She is identified as a niece and single.

DEBOBEN
John DEBOBEN (b abt 1819 in Germany) had a son John H. DEBOBEN, b. abt 1850 in Ohio.  In the 1880 census, the elder John does not appear.  The son, John H., is 30 years old and a "retired" farmer.

Why would someone only 30 be "retired?"  Did he possibly inherit the elder John's farm?  Another son, George, is living with his in-laws and is a farmer.  A sister is missing, possibly living with relatives in Cincinnati.

Where could I access info on the transfer of the elder John's farm?  On the 1870 census, the elder John's real estate is valued at $3,500; in 1860 it was work $2,500.

thanks for your help.
