About eight years later, on April 28, 1858, in Marshall County, Tennessee, John married Charlotte Rebecca Little. Shortly after their marriage, John and his new bride, Charlotte, moved to the Texas town of Washington-on-the-Brazo, the original capital of the Republic of Texas where the Declaration of Independence from Mexico was signed. Shortly, they were settled in Weimer, Colorado County, Texas. Charlotte gave John nine more children and they lived out their lives in Weimer.
John was a man with one good eye and was a private in the Confederate Army during the Civil War under Captain F. M. Burford, Colorado Grays, Reserve Cavalry Co., Colorado County, 22nd Brigade, TST. He enlisted July 13, 1861, at Harvey's Creek, Colorado County, Texas.

Obituary:
Falwell, John
Weimar Local Matters
Our neighbor, John Falwell, who was reported sick in last Items, quietly passed away last Saturday evening, and was laid away in the Odd Fellows Rest, Sunday at 3 o'clock, P.M., there to await the "last summons." Mr. F. was a consistent member of the M. E. Church. He leaves a sorrowing wife and a large family of children to mourn his loss. May the grace of God sustain the widow and orphans in the hour of sorrow and bereavement.
