     John was born circa 1776 at Path Valley, Fannett Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Hugh McCurdy I and Jane Cooke. John was on the tax rolls of Fannett & Metal Township as late as 1821 and often noted as a single freeman. It is possible that John migrated on as did his brother James and possibly married. (an unknown value).
