Lewis Breyfogle describes his great gradfather's family move from Ohio to Kansas as follows:

"The Breyfogles came to Kansas from Delaware, Ohio in 1866. The whole family came: Israel, Sr., and his wife; Israel, Jr. and his wife, and Mora (born 1844) and her husband, John Coe, a Civil War veteran. The bought land and lived for a while in what is now downtown Kansas City, Missouri, and later they purchased rich Shawnee Indian farmland within what is now the fast-growing suburban Johson County, Kansas City of Overland Park. There, for about 40 years, until shortly after the turn of the century, the three children of Israel lived on their seperate farms and raised their families."

Israel's wife Mary filed for his Civil War Pension on July 5, 1901, which indicates Israel had passed away. This form lists him as an invalid as of May 27, 1885, which is a possible reference to the note Lewis W. Breyfogle made concerning Israel's asthma.
