- Last name is Erwin as per Jim Arwine (jra334@@juno.com). For some reason, when the family moved from Virginia to Puncheon Camp, Grainger County, Tennessee, early in the year 1800, most if not all of the family changed their name to Arwine, as indicated by the Grainger County tax rolls. During the Revolutionary War, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, enlisted as a private in Rowan Co., North Carolina and served in the North Carolina Line for one year in Capt. Thomas Cowan's Company, Colonel Locke's Regiment, General Rutherford's Brigade. Sometime prior to 1798, John Jr. enlisted in a Virginia Militia Company and was sent to Pennsylvania to help put down problems that were still being caused by the French and Indians. Eventually he was stationed outside Reading, Berks Co., Pennsylvania, where he met and married Miss Eva Gooden.
