  • Notes 
    • John is recorded as being born in 1680, a resident of New Kent County, a member of the St. Peter & Paul parishes, paying tax or quit rent on 250 acres of land. St Peter's parish is located in New Kent County. St Paul's parish is located in what was then New Kent County but today is Hanover County, formed in 1720 from a portion of New Kent County.

      There is evidence that John married Sarah Dyer in 1701, she was born, ca 1683, the daughter of William Dyer, born 1661 and wife Mary, born 1664. Sarah's mother, Mary's will, dated March 7, 1702 named "Sarah Boatright my daughter," and Sarah's brothers & sisters.

      John appears to have lived his life in New Kent/Hanover Counties. Because of the burning of the New Kent and Hanover court house records, many valuable records including land purchases, birth and death records, to further substantiate John's life, have been lost.
