Notes

Sarah Goodgame's deposition states that he was between 50-60 yrs. old in 1858.

The 1840 AL Census shows John age 30-39 with 1 female 30-39, 1 male 5-9, 2 males 0-4, 1 female 15-19, 2 females 10-14, and1 female 5-9.

He fought in Sutherland's regiment and they were defeated February 26, 1865, or so it appears from his medical leave papers. He took sick furlough January 22, 1865, and lived in Coosa Co., AL.
