Biography

John Bohannon was born on 30 Jan 1659 in St. Michael's Parish, Barbados, West Indies. He was the son of Duncan Bohannon (1635–1704) and Cecily Collmore Bohannon (1637–1678).^[1]

According to the Birth Records below, his DOB was January 30, 1658. But, one must take into account the calender year ended in March according to the Julian Calendar.

John Bohannon was a Virginia colonist.

He was the husband of Agnes Newberry Bohannon (1657–1728). The couple was married on 10 Apr 1676 in Middlesex County, Virginia. The couple had at least three children Joseph Buchanan, Henry Bohannon (1680–1740) and Mary (Buchanan) Minter.

John died in 1704 (aged 44–45) in Middlesex, Virginia.

Research Notes

• A father's death date (Bohannon-27 died 1704) should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates (Buchanan-78 born 1718) .

N.B. I am changing John Bohannon and Agnes Newberry's date of marriage from 10 Apr 1729 to 10 April 1676^[2] as John is said to have died in 1718 and Agnes died on 6 Oct 1728. If you have a different date of marriage and a valid source or different death dates, please enter that information here and notify me and/or the profile managers. Thank you, Patricia Prickett Hickin, 9 Jan 2020.
