Son of Paul Leathers and Margaret Clore.
John married (1) Sarah "Sally" Elizabeth White on 4 Mar 1777, St. Thomas Parish, Orange Co., VA., (2) Mildred "Milley" DeKay.
The 1782 Tax List for Culpeper County, Virginia indicates John Leathers owned three slaves whose names were Eve, Luster, and George. He owned 5 horses and 11 cattle. In 1793, John Leathers and family show up in Madison County, Virginia, and by 1796 where living in Campbell County, Kentucky.
Reported John and brothers Paul and Joshua left Orange County, Virginia in 1788 for Kentucky. John took his family with him and settled in northern Kentucky in what has been Kenton County since 1840, was Campbell County from 1794 to 1840, Campbell having been formed in 1794 from Harrison, Mason and Scott Counties (Harrison was formed in 1793 from Bourbon and Scott, Scott was formed in 1792 from Woodford, and Mason was formed in 1789 from Bourbon). At the time of their move it is possible that all three brothers settled in adjoining counties, Fayette County, Virginia and Bourbon County, Virginia (created in 1786 from Fayette County, Virginia). Joshua took his family and settled in central Kentucky and Paul settled in what became Scott County in 1792 from what originally was Fayette, then Woodford. Thus the children of John and Joshua likely were born in Virginia, if born before 1792, and those after that time in Kentucky, which achieved statehood in 1792.
They had a reported 10 children: Joshua, Elizabeth (Betsy), John White, Lucinda "Lucy", Benjamin William, Nancy, Thomas, Paul, Joseph, and Sarah Ann "Sally".
In 1800, John Leathers was a member of the Dry Creek Baptist Church in what is now Kenton County. John served as a Clerk for the Dry Creek Baptist Church until 1812, at which point his son Benjamin William became Clerk of the Church.
25 Sep 1809, Campbell Co., KY. William and John Leathers, Jr. assigned as Executors of the Will of John Leathers.
The 1810 Campbell County, Kentucky Federal Census indicates John Leathers and his wife Sarah had two male children and three female children living at the house. It is assumed that one of the boys was living on his own, John Leathers, Jr.. They had 11 slaves living on their property. Owned most of the land [1,000 acres] of what is now Crestview Hills, Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, and extending north along both sides of Dixie Highway, before reaching the Highland Cemetery.
