This is absolutely only possibility.... not fact. I am not studying this same John but because I am studying a John born in 1765 I had run across the John you are referring to that died in NC. From what I had written its possible the Sarah was a Sarah King, and that John was born in Bedford Co. also to Mathew Davenport and had a brother Mathew. If this is the same person, he did go to NC. Remember, only suggestions.
