John Heth

John Heth (1798 – April 30, 1842), of Black Heath in Chesterfield County, Virginia, was the son of Colonel Henry "Harry" Heth, who had fought in the American Revolutionary War and established himself in the coal business in Virginia, and Nancy Hare Heth. He was named for Harry's brother, Lt. John Heth, who had also fought in the Revolutionary War and afterwards settled in the Richmond area.
