Notes for John HEACOCK

---

John, the eldest son of Jonathan, was a cabinet maker by trade. He married Sarah Taylor in 1739, and settled on a farm in Middletown, which was probably ten miles or less from his father's homestead. T. Reece Heacock tells this story: ". . . John, in advanced life caused a walnut tree, which grew from a nut he once carried in his pocket, to be cut into boards, out of which he made his own coffin. In this he placed his grave clothes, and in conformity with his request they were used at his interment. He died the 13th of 11th mo. 1794, aged 80 years and was buried in Middletown Friends grave yard."
