Map of North Carolina Counties in 1780, showing Surry County in the western wilderness. Map in 1800, showing location of Stokes County, formed from Surry in 1789. Stokes borders Rockingham County, which was formed in 1785 from Guilford County.
Wife Mildred Martin was the daughter of Capt. John Martin (1790-1836), son of Richard Martin, and thus would have been a cousin of her daughter Nancy's husband Nicholas Martin.
Daughter Nancy married Nicholas Martin (1833-1904). The 1860 Census for Stokes County lists Nicholas and wife Nancy Martin living in the household of John and Millie Chandler.
