Death

His will was written 7 December 1797 and probated 6 March 1798. Witnesses were Anthony Futard (Furstad or Furtad), Samuel Mohen Arvin, and Thomas Darnall (Darneille). His will is recorded in Will Book A, page 8, Montgomery Co., Kentucky. Not withstanding John's large family of sixteen children, some of whom were under ten years of age, the bulk of his real-estate was willed to Cornelius Darnall and his brother Henry. Presumably, they were expected to look after their mother and younger brothers and sisters. This may be inferred from the fact that Cornelius, when he was discharged from the Army and intended removing to Lincoln Co., Tennessee, deeded his share of the estate to Henry Darnall.
