In 1820, his family included 1 male and 1 female over 45, and 2 younger males (one age 10-15, one was 16-18). There were also 2 slaves. This census was given in order of first names, so all others on the page are named John, so seeing who his neighbors were isn't possible.^[1]

In 1830, his household included one white male (himself), one white female (age range 50-59 for both) and 5 slaves.^[2]

John died on April 4, 1844 in Laurens County, South Carolina aged 82. He is buried in Warrior Creek Cemetery, Laurens.^[3]
