adaaf. John, son of John (Mordecai, Mordecai, Samuel) and Rebecca ([Flowers] Morris) Lincoln of Rockingham county, Va., born July 15, 1755, probably at Carnarvon, Pa.; died July 13, 1835, at Lebanon, Ohio. He lived at Turleytown, Va., about twelve miles from Harrisonburg, where he owned a grist mill and a bark mill which ran by water, and a tan yard. He was a deputy surveyor of the county according to the "History of Rockingham County," which records on page 106 that "Garvin Hamilton and Ralph Loftus, having been appointed by a former Court to examine Mr. John Lincoln in regard to his abilities as deputy surveyor of the County, reported that they had found nothing to hinder his being admitted to the office." […] He was one of the executors of his father's will and as such was sued by his sister Rebecca, which suit with the papers in the case have preserved much of the family history, which would otherwise have been lost. About 1819, he removed with most of his children to Ohio, and bought a farm of 181 acres for $3,985 near Lebanon, at a village called Red Lion, and there passed the remainder of his life. […]
He married, June 27, 1782 (by the Rev. Mr. Carmichael), and probably in Rockingham county, Mary, daughter of Francis and Mary (Lincoln) Yarnall of Berks county, Pa., his own cousin, adadd. She was born March 29, 1760, in Pennsylvania and died May 27, 1832, at Lebanon. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln are buried in the Baptist cemetery at Lebanon and their gravestones are inscribed as follows:
"In Memory of John Lincoln who departed this life July 13, 1835 Aged 79 Yrs 11 mos & 28 days My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last Trumpets joyful sound Then burst the chains with sweet surprise And in my Saviour's image rise."
"In Memory of Mary Lincoln who departed this life May 27, 1832 Aged 72 years 1 month & 28 days Death thou hast conquered me I by thy darts am slain But Christ shall conquer thee And I shall rise again."
Mr. John Lincoln was a very devout member of the Baptist church as were his sons Isaac and John, as is shown by letters to their brother Mordecai, still preserved in the family. His will, dated Dec. 29, 1830, probated Aug. 31, 1835, is on record in Bk. vi, p. 158, of Warren County, Ohio, Wills. The following is an abstract of it: […]
