Unfortunately for John, the Quaker, the most notable and discussed event in his life was his death in 1781 in Lincoln County, Kentucky. John died instate, which caused infighting and court battles amongst his children. The discontent went so far that John’s daughter, Jemima, and her husband, John Thomas, forged a will for John, the Quaker, to obtain property rights still held in Shenandoah County. This deception caused John’s probate case to be adjudicated by the Supreme Court of Kentucky in 1786. Luckily, the seriousness of John’s issue provides us with many clues regarding the history and ancestry of John, the Quaker.
