There have been tales handed down about him during the revolutionary war. When on guard duty he would always sat on a wagon tongue so that if per chance he fell asleep he would awaken when he hit the hard ground. It is told that he stole vegetables from a Tory garden while a guard slept propped against a rail fence with a loaded shotgun in his lap. He quietly crept past and gathered a load of vegetables and then slipped quietly out again. The guard never stirred. John married Elizabeth Nauman after the war.
