John's grave marker is damaged but he probably died 1876.

Birth: 1800 Vermont, USA Death: unknown

• ********************************************************** John was born 'about' 1800 in Vermont.

John was alive at the 1875 New York State Census and I would assume that he was dead by the 1880 US Census.

Although John & Lucy's grave marker is in poor condition, I believe that it shows that John died at age 76.
