Will:
This will is transcribed with a date of 15 Nov 1778. November is scratched out and December is added in a different hand. But, it refers to John's daughter Elizabeth as Elizabeth Preddy. She did not marry Robert Preddy until 1783. Other wills listed in this book are probated in November term of court 1787 and appear to be written just before that.

All of this means that his death was most likely 1787 rather than 1778.
