John served in the French and Indian War in 1758 under Col. Wm. Byrd in the 2nd Virginia Regiment and in Capt. Hancock Eustace’s Company when Gen. James Forbes captured Fort Duquesne. Like his father, John was an overseer of the building of roads in Frederick County from at least 1771-1773. In 1776 John and Ann were living in what is now Harrison County, West Virginia (Harrison County created in 1784 from Monongalia County, in 1776 became Monongalia, formerly West Augusta District, part of Augusta County, Virginia). He may have obtained this land from his service in the Revolutionary War. John served in the Virginia Continental Line during the Revolutionary War circa 1777, a sergeant in the infantry.
