At age 18, John married Martha Ann Gaskins on October 23, 1863, in Polk County, Florida. Marriage Record pictured on the right was found on familysearch.org.
John was a Civil War Veteran. Pictured on the right is Civil War Pension Record. On this record it states that John was first in Captain F.A. Hendry's Independent Co. of Calvary and was later transferred to Captain John Parson's Company. It also states that John was discharged after Surrender and not before termination of war. He was not wounded.
