Note	John and his wife, Jemima Wells, made their first home in Ashe County, North Carolina, near the forks of New River on land which his grandfather James then claimed. After the death of his grandfather in 1803, John sold his claim to his brother James in 1804. In 1806 John bought a tractof 156 acres in Grayson County, Virginia, which adjoined his father's land in Ashe County. This 156 acres was sold to Moses Halsey in 1812 at which time John is believed to have moved to Letcher County, Kentucky, where he settled on the head of the Cumberland river. In 1816 he bought a farm in Lee (Wise) County, Virginia, from his brother James who had purchased the land in 1812 so it appears that the two brothers went there together. John later moved to Harlan County, Kentucky, then back to Wise County, Virginia, then to Letcher County, Kentucky, where Jemima died and was buried in 1856. John returned to Wise County during the civil war and settled in a small valley called "crackers neck". His descendants say that he died there soon after and was buried in the Robinett cemetery - no marker stone was found. There is some question as to whether or not John married a second time after the death of Jemima, no marriage record was found. In the 1860 census of Letcher County, Kentucky, John was living with a young woman named Jane who had a child aged six named Araminda. Some of John's descendants say that Jane was also a Sturgill and John had hired her to help take care of Jemima in her last illness and that after the death of Jemima she continued to live with John as she had no place else to go. It is the opinion of the writer (DAS) that this story is essentially true.
