I will try to answer some of your questions. John Henry Niblett joined the US Army at Pittsburg, Pa. on 25 June 1865, he marries Elizabeth in 1866 while stationed at Ft. Smith, Ark. His enrollment papers say he was born in Gloucheshire, England and is 39 years old. Birth date would be 1826.
His marriage papers state that he is 34, born 1832. Elizabeth could have supplied this information.
Yes that is my John and Elizabeth Carver Niblett on the 1880 Census.
He is also on the 1870 Census, Sebastian Co, Ark. Washburn Township, Black Jack Post Office. He always lived at the foot of Black Jack Mountain. In 1870 he is 43, would be born 1827.
In May of 1890 he filed for a Invalid Pension, he lists his age as 64, and a resident of Dayton. He would be born 1826.

!1969, MARCH 27. LETTER FROM BILL NIBLETT, MANSFIELD, ARKANSAS.
THIS BOOK CONTAINS HISTORY AND THE ORIGIN OF THE JOHN NIBLETT FAMILY IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IT IS ARRANGED AND COMPILED BY WILLIAM ROBERT
NIBLETT, GRANDSON OF THE JOHN NIBLETT MENTIONED ABOVE AND I WILLIAM ROBERT
NIBLETT, NOW BEING 73 YEARS OF AGE, JAN THE 6TH 1969, YET RESIDE IN THE TOWN OF
MANSFIELD, ARKANSAS, SEBASTIAN COUNTY. MY PART OF HISTORY OR PLACE IN THE
FAMILY TREE WILL COME OUT LATER, SO I WILL START NOW WITH THE IMIGRATION OF MY
GRANDFATHER JOHN NIBLETT TO THIS COUNTRY AS FOLLOWS ON PAGE 1.
PAGE 1. JOHN NIBLETT WHO WAS MY GRANDFATHER ON MY FATHERS SIDE OF THE HOUSE,
WAS BORN IN ENGLAND. HE WAS BORN OCT THE 13TH 1825.

The Public Member Tree you were viewing is that of David Orrell, my friend and genealogy buddy. I think he got the birth date for Ann from another Tree. He does not know that is definitely correct.

I do have that passenger list for Philip HOlmes and children in 1840, were they were from Liverpool. I also think he is in some doubt that Philip is a middle name.

I thought I was wrong on William and Martha being his parents, as he was still in England in 1861. He could have left England between 1861 and 1865. I was under the impression that he had been here longer, but have found no records prior to the 1865.

Maybe Mary Niblett had a prior marriage to a Brook. More questions, fewer answers.
