John was born 4 Jul 1782, to Grizelda Taylor and John Collier. He married Susannah Graves around 1803; they had 9 children.
"In March of 1806, [possibly while working on an assignment, he] "had an affair [in Harlan County with Mary Back]. He was a stranger to the area, and so she did not know that he was already married.
'He soon disappeared, leaving her pregnant. She had a son named Alfred (born Dec. 27, 1806, FAG #13025948), and then she died, a week or so later." FG
John died in 1833 in Rockcastle, Kentucky.
