Both John and Nancy's ancestors included American Patriots and soldiers (and officers) of the American Revolution. The couple's first six children were born in Georgia.

By 1835, John and Nancy had settled in Autauga County, Alabama, where their seventh and last child was born. They built a house part of which is still standing over 160 years later. The plantation that they developed grew to include 44 slaves (1840 census) and over 1300 acres devoted to cotton and cash crops. Nancy's flower gardens were said to have been noteworthy.

On 2/25/1847, John died and was buried in what became the family cemetery on the Slaton plantation.
