What is known so far about John Navin is taken from the inscription on his grave monument. John's age at the time of his death in 1858 is 34, making his year of birth as 1824. Based on source records of the ages of his siblings, this means that John was the first child of Michael and Catherine Burke (Nevin) Navin. John's grave marker is located at St. Mary's Cemetery, Lee, Massachusetts. However, since St. Mary's Cemetery wasn't established until 1859, this marker is likely just a memorial to him. It's possible he may have been buried on the Navin family land on Washington (now October) Mountain in the vicinity of Lee.
