It has been suggested by some that he was a younger brother of Crafton, but no record of him has been found in Lunenberg County, VA, nor was he mentioned in the descendants of Reuben Tatum in the settling of Benjmain's will. But if Reuben JR was omitted from the settlement, could not another son for what ever reason have been left out, too? Whether or not John was related to Crafton, what happened to him is still a problem.
