"John the doctor was one [of] the noted characters in this vicinity as a practicing physician and good nurse; made a great deal attending the sick. He lived one mile south of our meeting house (farm owned now by J. Hoke and L. Mote). He had a considerable sized family but the germs of scrofula was in several of the children, who reached no great age, and at this writing none are living. He died of paralysis also, in the winter of 1845, in his seventy-ninth year. His wife was daughter of Daniel Mote, a relative. These all come east from Georgia, Columbiana Co., amongst the first emigrants, 1802-4." Source: "A Walk in a Country Churchyard - Autumn 1880" by Luke Smith Mote
