Biography
From Ledbetters from Virginia:
(6) William (the eldest) m (1) Rebecca by whom he had his children, and m (2) Sarah and the latter died 1747 in St. Andrews Parish, Brunswick County. William and Rebecca had at least:
10. John, Junior (whose wife was Francis) b about 1699 in Prince George County. 13 Oct 1727 a patent issued to John for 318 acres on the south side of Meherrin River, adjoining land of Richard, Brunswick Land Grants Book 13, p 205. On 5 Nov 1743 grant to John of 196 acres "beginning at Ralph Jackson's Corner a little below the Islands" on the north side of Meherrin, Brunswick County. On 5 June 1744 John and wife Francis sold the above 196 acres of land to Joseph Fisher, who married his sister, Brunswick Deed Book 2, p 461. John perhaps moved and there is no further record where he can be distinguished from others named John. [Ledbetters from Virginia, p. 24]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

In 1964, Roy C. Ledbetter and others published "Ledbetters from Virginia". A work that they had been working on for over 30 years. With the advent of the internet there began a large conversation and effort on genealogy in general and specifically about the Ledbetter family. In 1990 this writer and Relf Huddleston, with the help of many, set out to write an updated version of "Ledbetters from Virginia" that corrected a few parts and added a great deal more. This culminated with the publishing of"Ledbetters Revisited" in October 2000. In recent years, DNA analysis of the Y-chromosome of males has become an additional tool for the use of genealogists. Having postal addresses of family members from distributing nearly 400 copies of "Ledbetters Revisited" it seemed natural to consider a Y-chromosome DNA project studying the Ledbetter family (males). This writer, with no experience in the field of genetics, set out to organize the project in the fall of 2004. If, for no other reasons, it would be interesting and a learning experience. (At this stage I have to say that the last sentence is a gross understatement.)
Kenneth E. Haughton
This procedure raises one contradiction, presumed brothers 400 John Ledbetter b 1698. and 401 William Ledbetter are of different Haplotypes. So, which one is improperly represented? Is 300 Francis Ledbetter in "Ledbetter A" or in "Ledbetter B" Since 300 Francis Ledbetter has a son who is a member of "Ledbetter A" and a brother who also is, it follows that 300 Francis Ledbetter is also a member of that group. This being the case, 300 Francis Ledbetter can not be the father of 400 John Ledbetter b1698. Therefore it is reasonable to conclude that 400 John is in "Ledbetter B" as are his descendants. He is likely there because of some paternal event or is the offspring of another immigrant or perhaps he is the immigrant. However it occurred, he is the origin of the "Ledbetter B" DNA in Ledbetter family. Before the DNA, participant G1234 "David E. Ledbetter" was thought to be a descendant of 401 William. Logic similar to above has placed 504 Joseph as a son of 400 John. Primarily by DNA but checked by age compared to the other children.
