After the War, John lost 87 bales of cotton, 500 pounds each (valued at 50 cents per pound $21,750 - a huge sum in those days) Federal agents hauled it off in wagons to Natchez, presuming it to have been sold to the Confederate Government, as many people had done. John had not. He sent his son to follow his cotton. He boarded the boat at Natchez and appeared before the authorities in New Orleans. They shipped it on to New York and never paid John "a red cent for it." John sold the farm and moved to Copiah County in 1866.
