He was a soldier and fifer in the War of 1812. He and his brothers, Peter & Daniel served in the War of 1812 and were all musicians and soldiers, carrying their own rifles. John was in Capt. Zimmerman's company, August-October, 1812. John & Peter belonged to the infantry from Columbiana County, Ohio. They were under Gen. Hull's command and were in the campaign through Ohio, Indiana & Michigan, but "for patriotic reasons, were not included in Hull's treacherous surrender. The circumstance was this: several of the bravest officers became aware of Hull's traitorous design, and to escape being surrendered, they reported that Indians were scalping citizens of a certain place, and volunteered with a number of picked men to go to their rescue, and thus escaped falling into the hand of Gen. Brock, the British commander." [from: History of the Upper Ohio Valley, Columbiana Co, pub 1891]
He & brother Peter were on a list of voters in an election April 1, 1816, Hanover twp.

John died 6 years later, June 24, 1830, on his farm near Dungannon, Ohio; buried in the Trinity churchyard cemetery.
