They emigrated to the United States, and settled at Hagerstown, Maryland.Shortly afterward, John entered the United States Army, and was sent to the Western frontier. He was sent on the Harmar Campaign of 1790, and was severely wounded in St. Clair's Defeat of 1791. He was a lieutenant in the Legion of the United States, and helped build the United States forts in Fort Wayne. He was promoted to captain on 1 July 1797 and transferred to Fort Lernoult in Detroit.
