     We don't know anything at all about him, so this is all speculation. John was said to have died in 1910 at 100 years of age. I strongly doubt that, as it means he was about 80 years old when he had his last child ... that WOULD have been interesting! I suspect he was probably about 80 when he died, and was likely born in about 1830. Because of that date, and because of his probable lack of knowledge of his own birthdate, my guess is that he was likely an African slave, born somewhere on that continent. It was very common for people with that background to look older than they actually were, due to a hard life, and most did not know when they were born. If he was indeed born about 1830, that would have made him about 20 at the time of the US Civil War, which abolished slavery. It would make a lot of sense that he probably fought in that war, and after the war, probably went into some sort of business. As a relatively recent arrival from Africa (compared with families who had been enslaved for generations), he was probably much more dynamic and rebellious at the condition in which he found himself, and this may have led to relative success in whatever he was doing. My guess would then be that he came to Norfolk at about the age of 50, plenty of time for him to have gathered enough money to come, and still young enough to have his 7 children with his younger wife.¹
