http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=27769336&ref=wvr

John, son of John (Mordecai, Mordecai, Samuel) and Rebecca ([Flowers] Morris) Lincoln of Rockingham county, Va., born July 15, 1755, probably at Carnarvon, Pa.; died July 13, 1835, at Lebanon, Ohio. He lived at Turleytown, Va., about twelve miles from Harrisonburg, where he owned a grist mill and a bark mill which ran by water, and a tan yard. He was a deputy surveyor of the county according to the "History of Rockingham County," which records on page 106 that "Garvin Hamilton and Ralph Loftus, having been appointed by a former Court to examine Mr. John Lincoln in regard to his abilities as deputy surveyor of the County, reported that they had found nothing to hinder his being admitted to the office." [%E2%80%A6] He was one of the executors of his father's will and as such was sued by his sister Rebecca, which suit with the papers in the case have preserved much of the family history, which would otherwise have been lost. About 1819, he removed with most of his children to Ohio, and bought a farm of 181 acres for $3,985 near Lebanon, at a village called Red Lion, and there passed the remainder of his life.

He married, June 27, 1782 (by the Rev. Mr. Carmichael), and probably in Rockingham county, Mary, daughter of Francis and Mary (Lincoln) Yarnall of Berks county, Pa., his own cousin, adadd. She was born March 29, 1760, in Pennsylvania and died May 27, 1832, at Lebanon. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln are buried in the Baptist cemetery at Lebanon
