Biography

John was born in Jackson County, Tennessee in 1831. He served the Confederacy during the Civil War. He was a private in Co. I of the 28th Tennessee Infantry Regiment before being absorbed into Co. D of the 28th Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiment.

According to a letter included in John's Civil War service record, his foot was injured by an axe and he was assigned to assist Job M. Morgan, transportation quartermaster, in 1863. Job Morgan goes on to become his brother in law when he marries Sarah "Sallie" Celina Morgan on September 5, 1867. The two men live long enough to be photographed together in 1918 with several other Jackson County Confederate veterans.

John was a school teacher and his obituary states he taught in 26 different schools. Years before they married, John had even taught his wife. He passed away in 1922 at age 90.
