One remains in Frederick Co. near Liberty Town Md. by 1800. The other has moved to Bedford Co. Pa by 1800. I believe that the John that remained in Md. in the Liberty Town district [near Howard's Mill] is the weaver. The John that went to Pa. was a farmer. It has been said that John the farmer came from the TaneyTown area. Because I do not know what the different districts were in 1790 I can not separate the two Johns.
