John Short

Roscius Short mentions his brother John in his deposition for his pension application in 1902. By that time, John had passed away. John may have lived in Washington, D.C. with his brother Washington Short. John Short’s parents were William Short, Sr. and Louisa Short, and John probably worked inside the house. [1]
