I'm a historian and I'm gathering biographical material on the mining prospectors and pioneers of early Washington Territory/State era.
John was born on 30 Mar 1853 in Arkansas and died on 1 Nov 1929 and buried at the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Deming, Washington. His parents were both born in Tennessee. I'm looking for his family's background.
I would appreciate any assistance you may give me in filling out John's biography.
