Little is known of John and his family. Tradition makes Hanley
and Fielding his sons. The information below links Simeon to
him. This is entirely supported by the tax lists in [51], where
he is taxed for two polls starting in 1820, three in 1823, back
to 1 in 1829, and again to two in 1833. Combined with the tax
entries for Fielding and Simeon, and the fact that boys over 16
were taxed, we see that the birth years of John's sons were 1803,
1806, and 1816. This is in perfect concert with the facts
regarding Fielding, Simeon, and Hanley.
As far as his daughters go, Eleanor is likely to be his since
Fielding's marriage security was Eleanor's husband, and Fielding
was security for her marriage.
