John and his wife Polly had seven children. Their children were all born in Mississippi prior to the Civil War, and most died in Texas. This means that while some were already married, they accompained other family members to Texas shortly after the Civil War. Land records for Coryell County indicaat that the first purchased land in 1873 known as the Miller Wilson land. A portion of this land was later donated for the cemtary known as Weaver's Chapel in what was once Ames, Coryell County, Texas. These records seem to substanciate the family story of leaving Mississippi after the war because their property, including a lumber mill, had been "burned out" by the Yankees.
