The submission to me of the actual proof of exact birth year and/or the proof of parentage (with proof that this is "their" John Landes, will result in my approving an edit reflecting that. Please realize that for every descendant that is just matching previous gen files, not documents, etc., there are other descendants who feel they have proof to the contrary. Each researcher is welcome to share the reason they believe their suggested change is fact.

Recap of John & Family move from York, by Lena Smiley via Karen McPherson:
John Landes, named thirdly in the will as "the oldest son" b. ca 1752. John Landes, Sr. was the only son of Christian and his first wife, Barbara Strickler. The rest of the sons being from the second wife, Mariah/Maria Bixler. Catherine Miller was born ca. 1750 and their first child was born in 1776.
John and Catherine lived the early years of their marriage in Windsor Twp, York Co., Pennsylvania, remaining there during the period of the Revolutionary War during which John was drafted (between 1777 and 1780) as a Private 2nd Class into Third Batallion York Co. Militia (Capt. Jacob Beaver), then into the 6th Company of Capt. Michael Kauffelt, 1st Batallion Militia.
John Landes was of a Mennonite family, and Mennonites did not permit military service. This is consistent with the notations regading his service, that he was repeatedly absent from the drills and was fined for non-participation and that he failed to provide a substitute for his own service. It was common for members of the German baptist Brethren and Mennonites simply not to appear for service. Nevertheless, John was compensated for some kind of goods or labor on January 30, 1781, to the amount of l Pound, 1 shilling, 9 pence.
About 1790 or earlier, John and Catherine Landes and family moved to a farm about four miles south of Harrisonburg in Rockingham Co., VA near where Pike Mennonite Church is presently located on Route 11. In addition to their own children, John brought along at least two of his half-brothers, Benjamin and Daniel. A son of Daniel, John Landes, whose wife was Marie Wenger, lived on and owned part of a farm in this vicinity and in 1829, he sold some of it for the Pike Mennonite Church to be built. Part of this old farm was later owned by A. U. Wise.
About 1796 John and Catherine and their family moved a few miles further south into Augusta Co., Virginia and settled on what is now known as the Croushorn farm located on Naked Creek, about two miles west of Burketown on Route 646. J. F. Landes of Goshen, VA stated in 1924 that sometime after 1810, John and Catherine Landes divided their lands on Naked Creek and moved a few miles northwest to Mossy Creek where, in partnership with his brother, Christian, he built and/or operated a mill (later a paper mill).
John wrote his will on January 9, 1819 and it was probated in the October court session of 1819. John and Catherine Landes are buried on the home farm on Naked Creek and for many years, a little wooden house stood over the grave, still remembered in 1924 when J. F. Landes of Goshen, VA wrote a short family history. A mill was operated by the Landes family on Naked Creek and it was burned during the Civil War during Sheridan's merciless and vindictive passage through the valley.
