John RADFORD

It appears that John was left with the family farm (sic, after Reuben's death).  He married Eliza Pyror around 1817 as their first born, John P., died in August of 1818, only 7 days old.  John and his family lived there for many years.  On May 9, 1840, just a week after the birth of his son, Robert F. , John died.  He was buried in the family cemetery.  
John's widow, Eliza lived on the farm until her death in 1891.  she buried two more of her and John's children in the cemetery, Robert in 1846 and Martha in 1849.  During the civil war, the family lay in the path of Sherman's march north from Savannah to the Carolinas.  Eliza begged Sherman's troops to spare the house.  She was successful and the house remains standing today.

The Adair book says Martha was buried on the family farm, no date listed for her birth.  She must have been a young girl when she died.
