He left a wife and two small sons. Family history says the yankees burned her home. Someone took her in. She later had two more children, but apparently never remarried. She is buried in Lenoir at Lower Creek Baptist Church dying at age 42. It is not known where John Henry is buried. Probably a Confederate mound." _____
