- John came from Dutchess Co. NY in 1802 and located of the farm occupied by his grandson Abeel. He was a ship carpenter by trade and during the Revolution was employed by the British government. He was at one time sent into the North Woods to procure ship timber. While there, a party of American soldiers came across his camp and appropriated his provisions. The British, learning of this, accused him of willingly feeding the Colonial troops and attempted to arrest him, but he made his escape to Dutchess county.
