Notes - Son of Joseph Sr and unknown wife.
He is called the Elder by family.
Married Eleanor/Elender Last name unknown.
John probably lived in Orange Cty NC before moving.
Moved to Wilkes Cty NC ca 1779/1780. He was 29.
We wonder if he had a different mother from Ben and Samuel as they were 17 and 18. Isaiah was 10 and came to the area later.
John stayed 10 years and moved to Tenn.
His family is found in Texas.
