There is another Ozment whom I'm almost sure was a son of Joseph Rashfield Ozment who lived in Georgia. This Ozment lived just across the GA - SC line from where his parents lived. To answer your question the only source for John Lafayette Ozment I've heard is WFT and Winifred Johnson. She has no documentation as far as I know.
