He settled in Allegheny Co. PA and married Elizabeth RETZIER who was born about 1770 in Pennsylvania. About 1814, he moved his family to Floyd Co., IN (Indiana Territory).
John received a land grant from the United States at the land office at Vincennes, IN and on 15 August 1815, he bought from Edmund Given and wife: 160 ac. for $500.00 located in Section 22, Franklin twp. 3, range 5 south, Floyd Co.
