John and Sarah's son John was baptized in St John's Church, Garrigill on 21 February 1768. He was born at Tynehead mine, a hamlet 4 miles south of Garrigill. He was their third-born, but second surviving son, named for his father and an elder brother, John, who had died as an infant in 1765. In 1792 John married Mary Waugh, daughter of Thomas Waugh and Hannah Woodmas of Garrigill. John and Mary had five children: Thomas (1793-1868), John (1795-1866), Isaac (1798-1829), Joshua (1801-1848) and Mary (1803-?). John was a miner and worked at the Middlecraig (1793), Hiving (1795), Tynehead (1798, 1801), and Gatehead (1803) mines, according to church baptismal records. It is not known if John emigrated to North America with his children and his wife. By 1822, when the first family members emigrated, he would have been 54 years of age, a long life for a miner. His son John had emigrated to Chinguacousy Township, Peel County, Upper Canada with his wife Elizabeth Moore by 1822. John was followed by his elder brother Thomas, wife Ann Sparks and their children, who emigrated to Vermont, United States in 1825, and north to Chinguacousy in 1828. Siblings Isaac, Joshua, Mary and their mother Mary also joined the family in Chinguacousy about 1828.
