Since family tradition that one of James's son was born near where battle of Bunker Hill was fought and that was near Boston, it would appear possible that this John could have been of England and been son of James, as a merchant was doing business in Boston when this James would have been a boy, buying land in Beaufort county which is a parent county of Pitt and Martin counties at a point in time. Pitt formed in 1760.
