John Hearn died of dropsy 1837. His wife also died of dropsy 1841, and both were buried in the old Hearn burying ground on his farm. These two old negro women were also buried there. He owned a large tract of land, and a gristmill, and was a prosperous farmer. The people called his corn crib "Hold Out" because he always kept plenty of corn. He and his wife were both members of a Baptist church, and raised a family of twelve children, three boys and nine girls
