The 1st of 10 children, this John apparently died young.
A younger brother John was born about 1776 (believed to be early/mid 1774 or late 1776/early 1777).
Whether there were two John's remains in doubt. Possibly, the second John, who died 18 Dec 1829 in Davenport, Delaware County, New York, was the first and only John. If so, then the 2nd John's birthdate is likely 5 Nov 1772, rather than the believed early/mid 1774 or late 1776/early 1777. Accordingly, the number of Billa Sr.'s children would be 9 instead of 10. |
