According to her Will, son, John Jr. (1813) was to get the use of the blacksmith tools of his father. John Jr. died in 1854, and the tools probably went to Hiram or Amos. John (1780) was a farmer and blacksmith. At the time of his death 281½ acres were divided among his ten children. All of the children were born in North Carolina. We found in the War of 1812 Muster Rolls for North Carolina two Johns. One served in the Rowan County Fourth Regiment - #36 John Frits.
