John is listed on WMS001 (Application for membership in the Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers) as arriving in Oregon in the 1850s. In the 1860 & 1870 Census records he is living in other states. This is probably incorrect. This document states that he was born in Jackson Co., VA.

The 1900 US Census shows James, his son, and he stated that his father was born in West Virginia.
