GENERAL NOTES:
1. In the 1870 census John is recorded as having personal effects worth $200. They shared a house with another couple2. Uncertain if the John MORCOM in the 1880 census and the John H MORCOM in the 1890 Denver Directory and John MORCOM in the 1900 Census of Lincoln County, Nevada are all the same person. The last is probably a different person if he entered the USA in 1886 rather than being 24 years in the country.
From "Portrait & Biographical Record - Denver & Vicinity" Colorado - Chicago - 1898"JOHN H. MORCOM, superintendent of the Colorado Iron Works, was born near Land's End, Cornwall, England, and is a member of one of the old families of that shire, to which the first of the name in England are supposed to have emigrated from Normandy. His father, John, who was a son of David Morcom, was born in Cornwall, where he followed the baker's trade during his active life. When advanced in years he came to America, and from that time until his death he resided in DeSoto, Mo. He married Jane Goodman, who was a native of Cornwall, and is now living in Kansas. Their only child, who forms the subject of this sketch, was reared in his native shire, where, at the age of fourteen, he began an apprenticeship to the blacksmith's trade in the foundry owned by one of the largest manufacturers of machinery in England. Three years were spent in the foundry, after which he went to London and entered the employ of Rennie & Co., ship and gunboat builders, with whom he completed his trade. In 1867, at the age of twenty-one, Mr. Morcom came to America and settled in Renovo, Pa., where he worked in the Sunbury & Erie Railroad shops. One year later he went to St. Charles, Mo., and was employed in the Northern Missouri shops there for two years, after which he spent a similar period in the Missouri Pacific Railroad shops in St. Louis. His next employment was as master mechanic in the blast furnace of the South St. Louis Iron Works at Carondelet, a responsible position and one that he filled with efficiency. In 1877 he resigned, having decided to come to Colorado for the benefit of his family's health. At Golden he secured work in the railroad shops of the Colorado Central, where he continued until the fall of 1879, and then came to Denver. From that time until August, 1881, he was employed by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company. He then accepted a position as foreman in the blacksmith shop of the Colorado Iron Works Company, later was made foreman in the machine shop, taking up the mechanical part of the machinery, together with the oversight of the men. In the fail of 1887 he was made superintendent of the works, which position he has since held, besides being a director of the company. At times he has had as many as six hundred men employed in the foundry, machine, pattern, blacksmith and boiler shops, and his capable management of the hands, as well as his intelligent supervision of the plant, has materially increased its prosperity. In London, England, Mr. Morcom married Catherine Tripp, who was born in Cornwall. They have a son and daughter; Philip, who is foreman of the blacksmith shop of the Colorado Iron Works; and Carrie, at home. Mr. Morcom has never taken all active part in politics, but keeps well posted concerning public affairs and is a Republican in belief. Fraternally he is connected with the Ancient Order of Foresters, also with Oriental Lodge No. 87, A. F. & A. M., and Denver Chapter No. 2, R. A. M."
Could he be John Hambly MORCOMBE (07540)?
