Notes:

John moved "over the mountain" to the Upper Hominy Township in Buncombe County. His first wife's (Bethany) background is sketchy. It is thought that her mother was Adaline Henson Thomas. In 1880, the census showed Bethany and son, Columbus, counted in the household of grandfather Daniel Henson.



Essie Sellers Jervis recalls that Uncle John always had a sense of humor and could initiate a variety of activity. On one occasion he came to visit Essie's mother, his niece, martha Ann Cogburn Sellers. John went with the family to East Fork Baptist Church where he was remembered as the one who established Flower Day (one Sunday each year everyone wore a flower on the lapel). This practice continued for many years.
