There was another John Province, age 16, b. about 1844, living in Washington, Monroe County, Ohio living on the farm of 22 year old Jonathan Cline and his wife Matilda Cline, also 22; but I don't think this is your ancestor.
Records do show another John Province who enlisted in 1865 at age 18, which might be the 16 year old listed above.
