Sorting out the men named John Pecor(e)

Problem statement:
   Who are the men named John Pecor(e) and who are they related to? 


John #1:
   This John was born 02 Dec 1857. This date was taken from his death certificate. He died in Shawnee, Pottowatomie, Oklahoma.  His death certificate also stated his parents were Suplear and Angeline Pecore. This family has also been shown in records of Illinois, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma as Destroismaison and Fruntreyhouse.
   He has been found in the following census records:
      1870: Watseka, Illinois in the household of his parents. He was 12 years old and born in Illinois.
      1880: Dallas, Texas in the household of his parents. He was 22 years old and living next to his future wife, Armilla Jarvis who was a 16 year old living with her family. Her parents are Hubert & Caroline Jarvis.
      1900: Pottawatomie Co., Oklahoma: John age 47, married 21 yrs (1879). It shows that he and Armilla had 9 children but only Minnie, Levi & Arthur were still living (all in the household).
      1910: Briton, Pottowatomie County, Oklahoma living with his wife, Armilla, daughter Minnie who is 28  and born in Kansas, and granddaughter Pearl Blackwood who is 11 and was born in Oklahoma.

His marriage record to Armilla has not been located.


Things to do:
1.  Find marriage record for John & Armilla.  Should be 1880 in Dallas.  The 1880 census shows them in their parents' households By Minnie's birth in 1882, they were in Kansas.


John #2:
     This John is the ancestor of fellow researcher, Paul Fronterhouse.  He was born in New York ca. 1826. He was married to Lucinda Grimes 15 May 1849 in Joliet, Will County, Illinois.  He died in Atoka Co, Indian Territory abt 1875. (all data from Paul Fronterhouse).

He has been found in the following census records:
     1850: Crete, Will County, Ill:  He is a 24 year old farmer with a 24 year old wife, Lucinda, and 6 mo. baby, Sarah.
     1856: Brewer Co. Iowa: He has been in Iowa for 4 years and is 33. He was b. in NY as was Lucinda. In the hh are Jane 6, Paulina 2, and his son John who was 1.
     1860: Buchanan Co. MO: He is shown to be 38, still shows b. in NY; Lucinda is 34 b. Ohio;childrenare: Sarah J. 10 b Ill; Caroline 7 b. Iowa; John N. 6 b. Iowa; William R 4 b. Iowa and a 2 year old male whose name I cannot read.
     1865: Doniphan Co. KS: Heis 37 b NY; Lucinda is 37 b. Ohio; Perlina 14 b. Iowa, John 12 b. Iowa; a boy with initial of L. b. Iowa; and a female G. 5 who was b. in MO.
    1870: Wyandotte, KS: He is 45 b. NY w/mother of foreign birth; Lucinda 34 b. NY; Palina 16 b. Iowa; John N. 15 b. Iowa; William 12 [no bp]; boy Lanthary 17 b. Iowa and Georgana 9 b. MO.

Things to do:
1.  Find this Lucinda in 1880 and after.


John #3:
     This John & wife Emma has been found on a deed dated 7 Oct 1872 in Watseka, Iroquois County, Illinois selling a block of land to Siplier Pecor (of the same place). The land (strip of land fifty feet in width off the East end of Lot #1, #2 and #3 in Block #8 in Troup's Addition in the City of Watseka) granted to Suplear Pecor of same place.  This appears to be the same lot that was the subject of several deeds involving Suplear Pecore.

I have not found this John with wife Emma in any other records.

John #4:
     Suplear /Cyprien Frontinghouse has been found on a deed dated 20 Mar 1866.  He signed the deed John Frontinghouse with his wife, A. D. Frontinghouse. They were designated within the deed as John Distoismaison and Angelique D. Distroismaison.  The land was:
     Iroquois Co: S/2 of SE4 of Sec 8 T28N, R12W of second principal meridian containing 80 acres.
