He married Phoebe Alderman, daughter of Daniel (if memory serves) Alderman, a Revolutionary soldier buried at Branan Cemetery near Statesboro, GA. Phoebe died and is also buried there. The graves are well marked. John moved to what is now Lowndes County. He married an Edmondson (2d wife). Some think he married a second Edmondson (a sister of the 1st). John is buried near Hahira, Georgia, on the Old Owen Smith plantation, which is now a part of the GA Sheriffs' Boys' Ranch. John and Phoebe had a son David, my gggrandfather. David had a son, Elbert, my ggrandfather, whose son, Alonzo, was my grandfather. I might be able to find Samuel from all the material I have. I will have to go to my files for that, but will try to keep it in mind and post it here. I have not followed John's first (an possibly second) marriage that closely, but do have information. I also have information on John's father, grandfather, etc.
