According to the 1850 U.S. census, John and his parents were living in Lafayette County, Mississippi.

During the 1860 U.S. census, John was living with his parents and siblings in Bexar County, Texas.

We know that John was in Hunt County at least by late 1871 or early 1872 because he and Jennie are married and their first child, Julia was born in Hunt County in November 1872.
