Born 1729 in Isle of Wight, Virginia; died in 1788 in the part of Bladen County which became Robeson County, NC. He married Elizabeth Campbell in 1748. She was born between 1729-1732 in Argyleshire, Scotland, according to the Vince genealogy. John’s heirs received a Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grant of 228 acres in 1820. He served as a private in the NC Militia according to “Colonial Soldiers of the South” and is listed on the Muster Rolls of Edgecombe County in the 1750’s, about the time of the French & Indian War of 1754. Apparently he lived among a Native American tribe of Croaton Indians whose original lands were on the coast at the corner of VA and NC, one of whom called him “the blonde, blue eyed white man who lives among us.” The tribe was pushed out and settled in the Cheraw Dist. of SC but were not accepted by the natives there. They moved on to the Lumber River area and became known as Lumbee Indians who were mixed-bloods having intermarried with whites. Had children: John Campbell, 1749; Aaron, 1751; David, 1756; Joel Joseph, 1758.
