John was born in 1696 in Fairfax, Virginia to Daniel Deskins and Joanna Barker. He married Elizabeth Clark on 2 Apr 1724 in St Paul's Parish, Stafford, Virginia. Children: Mary Ruth, Margaret, Rachel, Joanna, and Ann.

After Elizabeth died in 1744 he married Frances McCarty on 19 Jun 1755 in Stafford, Virginia.

NOTE: I have verified by several sources all of the female children, i.e., Ann, Margaret, Rachel, Joanna, and Ruth. There are *John and *Daniel often listed as sons by previous researchers without proof, I DO NOT believe they belong here as they are not mentioned in the will or elsewhere in John3 Deskins’ records.
