John served as a Private during the Civil War. The following document, showing John's involvement in the Home Guard, was recorded in Jackson County, Alabama, Deed Book 4, pg. 50-52:13
Agreement made April 3, 1869 and days following. G. W. N. Stovall, party of the first part, will attempt to collect compensation from the U.S. Government for services rendered in a Home Guard raised under an order of Gen. R. H. Milroy issued Feb. 1st, 1865. In the event that he succeeds he will pay to each Private ten dollars, each Corporal and C.Q.M. fifteen dollars, to each Sergeant twenty dollars and to each Lieutenant and member of the Committee or Company Court twenty five dollars.
