Fellow researcher, Cathey1258 (48529675) has suggested an alternative theory concerning John's paternity. "I base my preference for James A (probably Alexander) Gotcher and Temperance McAfee on two things. 1) Temperance McAfee remarries in 1860 to a Samuel Middleton in Hardeman Co TN. and then moves to Jackson Co Illinois about the same time John Valentine Gotcher also appears in Jackson Co Illinois. 2) John Valentine Gotcher’s death certificate states his father’s name was James, not Henry. My Gotcher line actually comes through Thomas Gotcher, b. about 1775 and supposedly one of the sons of Henry Gotcher and Rachel Larkin, who moved from Franklin Co TN to Perry Co IL in the late 1820s. I’m making my way through the lines of some of the other ‘original’ sons in order to make sense of who is who."
