John Majors Eubank

John Eubank was the son of John Eubank and Hannah Major. He was born in 1760 or possibly as early as 1757. He was Land Grantee of 50 acres for military service during the Revolutionary War. (Land Grantee of 50 acres, survey date February 8, 1821, watercourse East Fork Big Barren River). Research of Louise Loebig, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. John and Fanny were first cousins. Albemarle County Virginia 1815 personal property tax list, shows John Sr., was owner of 8 slaves, 14 head of cattle, and 5 horses. Was also taxed for a looking glass over one foot with gilt, and one chest of drawers.

Migrated to Barren County, Kentucky in 1817, which was later changed to Monroe County, Kentucky. The move must have been after the death of James Boian who died May 30, 1817, and he traveled with his wife Fanny, daughter Dicey and son Francis, Zera Boian and her children; Thomas and Jane Eubank and their children, Louisa, Editha, Mary Jane and Willis Bransford; John Jr. and Sally Eubank and their children, Tucker Alexander, Eliza Jane, and Sinthy; Sally and Thomas Harlan and their children. The James Harrison's were there by 1819, as he was a witness on land purchase by John Sr. John Sr. was not on tax records of 1831, 32 and 33. The conclusion is that he died in 1831. Monroe County Courthouse burned in the Civil War destroying all records except most of the tax records.

Oral history is that John and his wife are buried on family farm the Old Eubank Home Place in Mud Lick, Monroe County, Kentucky. The farm is currently known as the McClendon Farm, now owned by Mr James Ritter.
