Nancy indicates that John, his wife Catherine and son, Henry, are buried in the Manada Gap United Christian Church Cemetery. This church was originally a Methodist-Episcopal Church. The cemetery is located at the intersection of Manada Gap Road and Ridge Road.
Catherine's name is recorded in the Biographical Encyclopedia listed below as "Ormond", however her daughter, Stella Mumma, recorded her mother's maiden name as "Ament" . Ormond might have been a married name, but it is not her maiden name. Stella also identified siblings with the Ament surname.
