John was taxed in Beekman from 1759 through 1761 when he removed to Northeast Precinct where he was on the tax roll from FEB 1762 through JUN 1763 and again 1776-1779. John Head sued David Vaughn, Jr. of Beekman in 1763. John Head signed the A of A in Northeast Precinct in 1775 and served as a Private in the Revolution. He appears to have moved to Westchester Co., NY where he was in Stephentown (now Somers) in 1790 between Eleazer Tillitson and Samuel Raynard. He died on a visit to see his son Lovitt. We have no name for his wife but Valeria was a Woolley family name and the Woolley family was in the Dover area.
