Fath-DeathFeb 1821  John's father died in Jan. or Feb. 1820. His will charged his two eldest sons, John and his brother Arthur, with caring for their younger siblings [and half siblings]. The two young men were allowed the use of the plantation until their youngest sister Sarah reached the age of 15 on Oct. 2, 1827 at which time the land was to be sold.1 
Marriage29 Aug 1822 John married Susannah Hutton, daughter of John Hutton and Mary Ann Cunningham, on 29 Aug 1822 in Washington County, Virginia. They were first cousins.4 
Land-Buy10 Nov 1828  In 1828 John and Arthur each purchased their sibling's interest in half of the two tracts belonging to their father's estate.5,6 
Land-Sell22 Sep 1832  However, in late 1832 John and Susannah sold their half of each tract to Arthur for $650.7 
Migrationcirca 1833  The sale appears to have taken place just prior to the families move to Kentucky.  
  John's brother James, his sisters Jane and Eleanor, and his half-sister Sarah also made the move. 
Cens-185016 Aug 1850  In 1850 John and Susannah, both 52, were enumerated in Anderson County, Kentucky. The household also included these individuals born in Virginia: James, 26, (married within year) Martha, 21, Samuel, 18, and these born in Kentucky: Elizabeth, 16, Amanda, 14, William, 12, and Arthur, 9.3 
Census  John and Susannah were recorded on 2 additional census enumerations in Anderson County. The make-up of the household changed as children grew up, left home, and sometimes returned. The 1870 census includes three Hutton children whose parents do not appear to be part of the household: Samuel, 15, Josephine, 16, and Almira, 13. Twenty-nine year old Arthur was also at home. Mary Jane (26) and William S. (3) were listed after him, suggesting he had married a few years earlier.8,9
