Son of Lewis Ewing Clogston and Frances Keppel.
From the 1860 US Census (Moniteau County, Missouri, page 214) - John Lewis is in the household of Lewis Clogston his father. He is 3 years old and was born in Illinois. They are living in the city of California, Missouri. The family moved to Tecumseh, Shawnee County, Kansas before 1862.

John Lewis Clogston is interment No. 164 in the Topeka Cemetery Ledger. It appears the date of birth was entered with the wrong year, i.e. 1862 instead of 1857. We know from the census record he was born in 1857. No date was entered for his death, but he was interred 12 Aug 1862. His death would have been a day or so before burial. No cause was listed for his death.

The Topeka Cemetery shows in their database he was born 1 Jan 1857, but it has no record for that information. Typically in a database where only the year is given, the default for the month and day is Jan 1st. I think that is why the database shows his birth date as 1 Jan 1857 when it is most likely 11 Dec 1857.

The Topeka Cemetery verified that there is no headstone for John Lewis Clogston. No other Clogston's are buried in the Topeka Cemetery.
