Notes for JOHN WILLIAM HEATH, SR.:

John William Heath, was a gunsmith who came to America some time before the Revolutionary War.  It is supposed that Maj. John Heath is the same John William Heath who was promoted to Lieutenant in 1778. (All though this early for someone born C.1761.)  Lt. John Heath may or may not be the same Maj. John Heath who made a rifle, which was passed down through the family for several generations.
