  • Notes 
    • John was born June 9, 1777 in Pittsylvania County Virginia. He married Catherine Davis in 1803. Sometime around 1826 they moved to East Tennessee where he purchased land during the Hiwassee Purchase. This land is now the lower end of Meigs county on Big Springs road.

      He was a prosperous farmer as his will shows considerable property and many slaves. He had several hundred dollars in Confederate notes in a bank in Athens, Tn. By the time he died, they were worth only 8 cents on the dollar. Also, mentioned in his settlement is son Jesse , who lived with them during the civil war, sold corn for 1$ a bushel to the Union army and there was a goverment voucher for $1,100 which may mean they sold other items. His settlement also states that $40 in gold was deposited by him with his son John.D. Chattin and was stolen from John D.'s wife by robbers during the war.
