༺⊰❁ John Marion Briggs was the son of Capt. Joseph Samuel and Rosemary Hammond Briggs, born on September 18, 1765 in Pendleton County, Virginia (Now West Virginia.) He married Catherine Peterson.
Known children of John Marion and Catherine Peterson Briggs:
1) John Marion Briggs, Jr., b. October 11, 1795, Pendleton County, Virginia (now West Va.); d. March 24, 1891 in Aldrich, Polk County, Missouri. 1st Married Nancy Hempleman 1818. 2nd Married Susanna Carr 1839. 3rd Married Juliann (Harter) Woolery 1846.
2) Samuel Briggs, b. January 15, 1797, Pendleton County, Virginia (now West Va.); d. September 08, 1850, Ross County, Ohio. Married Elizabeth M Hempleman. After Samuel's death Elizabeth married Jacob Kizer.
3) Mary "Polly" Briggs, b. 1800 in Pendleton County, Virginia (now West Va.); death 1840 in Morgan County, Ohio, USA. Married James Garvin.

5) Eli Briggs, b. 1805 in South Charleston, Clark County, Ohio, USA; death possibly May 11, 1860 in Ohio, USA. Married Mary Ann Vickers. I am not sure Eli is the son of John Marion and Catherine Peterson Briggs, but it is a possibility. Not enough records to decide either way at this time.
6) Lydia Briggs, b. 1810 in South Charleston, Clark County, Ohio, USA; death January 9, 1849 in Madison County, Ohio, USA. Married Zebadee Nagley.
7) Jacob Briggs, b. August 30 1811 in South Charleston, Clark County, Ohio, USA; death September 1, 1891 in Henning, Vermilion County, Illinois, USA. Married Lodema Hale.
8) Delilah "Delilia" Briggs, b. April 22, 1814 in South Charleston, Clark County, Ohio; d. April 22, 1814 in South Charleston, Clark County, Ohio.
John Briggs was a farmer and he was one of those who answered the call to arms and marched several days to fight and defeat the British at Kings Mountain and is on the roll of the Overmountain Men of the American Revolution. Each and every one of those men were brave and heroic souls who many were Baptist. They fought for their lives and for their freedom of religious choice. The British officer threatened to kill the leaders and lay waste to the vast countryside if they did not submitt to the British crown and the Church of England. Major Ferguson swore he would never leave Kings Mountain. In that he was correct. He was killed in the battle for Kings Mountain and is buried there. It was a pivotal battle in the Revolution. Major Ferguson was one of the best and talented of the British officers. Major Ferguson's men consisted of 1/3 of General Cornwallis' forces. It was a crippling blow upon the British.
May our beloved Patriot John Marion Briggs rest in eternal peace in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
