He died 24 February 1841 and was buried at the Pilgrim Reformed Church Cemetery near Lexington, Davidson County, North Carolina. John was married about 1806 to Rebecca Younts. She was born 19 September 1785 in North Carolina. Her Will was dated 10 May 1846 and she died sometime after 1850. 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. The other served in Burke County Second Regiment - #45 John Fritt, they are possibly the same man.
