__NOTOC__
==Birth== 
John Jost Wilday was born in 1826 at 255 Irish Hill Road in Berne, Albany County, New York to [[Johannes Wilday]] (B. April 7, 1789, D. 1873) and his wife [[Margaret Ecker]] (B. Oct 28, 1794, D. Dec 25, 1861).<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref> He was one of the younger children in a family of eight and had an older brother named [[John Wilday Jr.]], which can cause confusion.<ref name="Bernehistory"/>

==Education== 


==Occupation== 
John Jost Wilday was a farmer by trade like his father.<ref name="USCensus">US Censuses</ref>

==Marriage & Children== 
John married [[Anna Maria Resue]] (B. 1829, D. bet 1880-1892), who was born and raised in Berne like he was. She was the daughter of [[Jacob Resue]] and his wife Dolly.<ref name="Bernehistory"/> They had the following children:
*[[Elnora Wilday]]<ref name="Bernehistory"/>
*[[Adam Minor Wilday]] (B. Jan 17, 1849, D. Feb 4, 1894)<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1855Census">1855 NY State Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref><ref name="1860Census">1860 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref><ref name="1870Census">1870 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref>
*[[Minnie E. Wilday]] (B. 1851) also known as Elmira, Clarissa and Esther<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1855Census"/><ref name="1860Census"/>
*[[Martha J. Wilday]] (B. 1856)<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1860Census"/>
*[[Anna M. Wilday]] (B. 1857) also known as Amanda<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1860Census"/><ref name="1870Census"/><ref name="1870Census"/>
*[[Alva John Wilday]] (B. 1862)<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1870Census"/><ref name="1880Census">1880 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref>
*[[Elery Wilday]] (B. Dec 1864) twin<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1870Census"/><ref name="1880Census"/>
*[[Ella Wilday]] (B. Dec 1864) twin<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1870Census"/><ref name="1880Census"/>
*[[Avery Wilday]] (B. after June 1865)<ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1870Census"/>
Note: His children's given names were recorded differently on nearly every census. I have included the names that were recorded.

==Life==
John lived most of his life in Berne, although in later years he resided in Schoharie County. In 1855, John was living in a log cabin in Berne with his wife and two young children, and was working as a laborer.<ref name="1855Census"/> Five years later his family had grown in number, and he was a farm laborer in Berne.<ref name="1860Census"/> In 1870, John continued to work as a farm laborer as well as his eldest son Adam. He lived in East Berne with his wife and most of his children. In 1880, John and Anna were living in Berne with several of their children as well as their Granddaughter [[Olive Wood]] (B. about 1873).<ref name="1880Census"/> Olive was the daughter of [[Joseph E. Wood]] and John's daughter [[Anna M. Wilday]].<ref name="Bernehistory"/> We know that John died in 1901 in Middleburgh, Schoharie County, NY. Therefore it appears that John Jost Wilday was recorded in the 1900 US Census in Middleburgh, Schoharie County as John, age 72 years, living alone and working as a farmer on land he owned free of a mortgage.<ref name="1900Census">1900 US Census, Middleburgh, Schoharie Co, NY</ref> However since his elder brother [[John Wilday Jr.]] died in Middleburgh on Nov 5, 1900, there is some question.

==Death==

John's wife Anna apparently died first as she was not recorded in a census after 1880.<ref name="1880Census"/> John died in Middleburgh, Schoharie County, NY and was buried on May 22, 1901 in Berne.<ref name="Bernehistory"/>

==Obituary==
