John Painter, ninth and last child of Sarah (née Haines) and Isaac Painter, senior, was born 1795 in the vicinity of Nineveh, then in Frederick County, Virginia. This John Painter—a grandson of Hannah (née Braddock) and John Painter—is likely the one disowned by his Quaker meeting in 1813 for participating in militia training.
John Painter and Lucy Elkins were married on 24 August 1814 in Frederick County.
The date and place of John Painter's death are not known. That one Lucy Painter was enumerated in 1830 in Frederick County as a head of household suggests that John Painter was then no longer living.
