Hi Susan, As you probably know there were many John Diskin(s)/Deskin(s). From what we have read in our brief search for Daniel Deskin (there are many of them, also), it seems there was a John Deskin who was a justice in Prince William. He was married to Elizabeth Clark in Loudon, Prince William. They had at least three daughters, Margaret, Joanna, and Ann. However, the John married to Frances McCarty (in 1755) was born in 1732 and probably wasn't old enough to be a justice in the 1740's. They seem to have had a daughter named Ruth but after that we have no data. You may want to contact Terry Lee at LeeRoses@aol.com. He is extremely helpful and is a wonderful point of contact for anyone researching the Diskin/Deskin(s). Good luck in your search.
