Militia, 8th Class. He was pd with worthless paper money for participating in the war. With this money purchased the original 269 1/2 acs of land with a warrant in 1783 from the state of PA. The patent (which meant he had a clear title & would pay taxes on it) was granted in 1794. He lived his entire m life on this farm which eventually totaled more than 1,600 acs of ground.

The wooded area where the Cem. in which John, his wife, Catharine, his eldest son, John, 2 unnamed chldn, & a chld named Henry are bur was once a meadow. A millstone was placed at the gravesite & a pine tree grows on John's grave. Legend has it that a colored man is also bur here but no proof has actually been found. Legend also has it that John was in this part of the country serving with the militia when he met his wife, Catharine.

He traded 1 pr of millstones for a barrel of brandy & then sold the brandy. John Deeter was a religious man. According to his own records between 1812 & 1816 he did a lot of business with a Luth minister named John Deeter Peterson. The minister bought lumber from Deeter & used this lumber to build a church.
