- John Stringer married Elizabeth Maria Cawthon, daughter of William Cawthon and Judah (?), according to at least one researcher, and had two children, but it appears elsewhere that those children were born at a time to conflict with the birth of Moses K. Speight. John Stringer apparently was the brother of her sister Aschsah's husband Reddin(g) Stringer. Possibly one or more of the children were from an earlier marriage of John Stringer.
- John Stringer was born circa 1772 in North Carolina.

Charles Stringer. . John Stringer. . ." [Georgia's Landmarks, Memorials, and Legends, 1913]
