Notes - John and Nancy had six of their ten children by the time the Revolutionary War began. He enlisted 13 November 1775, and mustered at the Elizabethtown barracks by 11 January 1776. He became Second Sergeant in Captain Andrew McMeyer's 6th Company, Colonel William Alexander's 1st Regiment, 1st Establishment of the New Jersey Continental Line.
After the war, the family remained in Westfield where the other children were born. In about 1794 or 1795, the family traveled across Pennsylvania and then sailed down the Ohio River to the mouth of the Little Miami River. They settled north of Cincinnati in Hamilton county.
It was in Hamilton county that the children married and several continued westward. John died near Carlisle; his estate papers were filed in 1800. Carlisle now is in Warren county.
