Children — born in Henrico [now Goochland] Co., VA:

Most sources do not agree that John had a daughter because she is not mentioned in John's will, but then, had she died without issue before 1754, she would not have been mentioned. Of course, had she died without issue, the issue is, alas, not of much relevance genealogically.
