  • Notes 
    • Grew up in Wesson, MS and migrated to Wilson Beat in Lamar County, AL.
      He met and married Mary Jane Wilson and later moved to Yazoo City, MS.
      After the Civil War John, being a carpenter, left for the Western Territories to ply his trade. He was planning to return for his family after he was settled. He was last seen a few weeks later with his wagon mired down in a bog near the Mississippi River. Reports came from travelers who had seen him, but he never returned for his family. Conjectures were that he was murdered for his very valuable carpenter's tools. Mary Jane was left to rear the remaining children.
