Individual Details
John Barefield ENGLISH
(1801 - 27 Jun 1870)
"Jake" English was a pilot on rafts working out of Dent's Run. [Source: Sinna p 437]
John English was a common name so I can't be sure that these are attributable to this person.
Do not confuse with John B English-695, who was born in Cumberland Co, PA and died in Kansas with similar dates and with a wife named Jane.
George English (b 1814) is the cousin of John English (b 1801)
