Several interenet resources say that John was born in about 1750 and died in 1800, but his will was not approved until he actually died 5 years after it was written in 1823. This would place his death in 1828 in Warren County, North Carolina, USA. Martha was widowed by his death and eventually died 15 years later in 1843 at the age of about 93.
