43. John WALTERS11,170,171 was born on 30 April 1779 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.171 He died on 12 December 1860 at the age of 81 in Union County, Tennessee.171 The Pittslyvania Co Land Tax lists of 1782 show a John Walters with 200 acres. Thomas Jr.'s father restated in his will that 200 acres had been given to John as the child of the deceased Thomas Jr. There was another John Walters in Pittsylvania at that time, but he was called Capt John in the tax list. I suspect that Thomas Jr was already deceased in 1782, since he does not appear on the tax list.
John Walters married Rhoda Walters, dau of John Walters. Sur: Ezra Walters, her brother. John and Rhoda were 1st cousins.
