10.  Anon.  1882.  History of Muskegon County, Michigan.  H.R. Page & Co., Chicago (online at the Muskegon County MIGenWeb site; courtesy of Joyce VanderVere):

John G. Rasey was born in Oneida County, N.Y., in 1824.  At twelve years of age he moved to Lawrence County, where he lived twelve years.  Here he married Orrilla Harris, who died in less than two years after marriage.  He next moved into Jefferson County, and after living there twelve of thirteen years removed to the state of Illinois with a family of five children, having been married a second time, and remained there ten years.  He then bought eighty acres of wild land in Holton and settled on it.  He has now ten children.  He taught school for twenty-four years.  Has been School Superintendent for Holton five years and Justice of the Peace two years.

11.  WorldConnect / Ancestry World Trees (online at RootsWeb.com/Ancestry.com).  A file there includes this clipping in its Notes (no date or source given):

The body of John G. Rasey, Sr., age 93 was brought to this city from Chicago, where he died Monday evening.  Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Holton Baptist Church.  He was the father of John G. and Ernest Rasey of this city.
