John and Barbara moved to the old Deppen homestead after Peter moved to Pine Grove. They lived there until 1788 when he and his wife conveyed his share to Christian Deppen's will to Joseph, Jacob and Abraham. The same year he bought in Heidleberg Twp, now North Heidlebrerg, of Henry Gruber Jr. The mother Anna Barbara died March 14, 1816 aged 62 yrs and John died October 14, 1827 and they are recorded in the Altalaha Church even though they did not attend there anymore, Anna Barbara being Mennonite.
