In 1825 moved to Hopewell Township, Muskingum County. He did not intend to stay in the area but when he heard that the main road from Zanesville to Columbus was going to be built he brought 30 acres of land for $20.00 and settled there. In 1819 he and his brother, Larzelere had acquired a quarter section of land (160) acres near Crooksville which is in Perry County, in 1839 half of this land was conveyed by John to Larzelere by Quit Claim deed and $1.00. John sold the other 80 acres to Larzelere for $425.00.

John built his house on the south slope of a hill just east of Mt. Sterling.
