He was prominent in establishing Primitive Baptist churches in Crawford County, Georgia and a monument, built by public subscription, was erected at the Salem Primitive Baptist Church cemetery in that county.

Acted as first moderator of Echeconnee Association at Mt Carmel 1829" John and his wife are buried in Mt. Paron Cemetery unmarked. We have no positive proof , other than the fact that he and his wife were living with their daughter and son-in-law, Nathan and Icy Fowler, who lived across the road from the church. Records show that he was dismissed from the Church Roll the year of his death (Source: Baptist Messenger, May 1887 article written by his grandson, Zephaniah Fowler).
