John was born in 1789. He died in 1873 at the age of 83.
Parents: Jacob Boyer 1763 - 1838 and Margaret (Huffman) Boyer 1765 - 1850.

The story is that in 1843, John abandoned Sarah and their children as they were leaving Tennessee for Missouri. He told her he was going back to town to take care of some business. He never followed them. Instead, he took a new wife and had four more children. Supposedly Sarah and the children never knew what happened to him.
