(Unknown Spouse) John, son of John Witt and Ann Daux, was born about 1675 in Charles City, County, Virginia. He died in Goochland County, Virginia before 1751. He married Lavina Anne Rogers, daughter of John Rogers and Elizabeth of Westover Parish. She was apparently not born until at least 1700, so she was probably a second wife, and not the mother of John Witt, III. John Rogers will of 1730 (Weisiger, Benjamin B., "Charles City County Wills and Deeds 1725-1731" p40, references Will Book D, p298) lists 4 daughters, two of which are still unmarried, suggesting they are all relatively young. John Witt's known children were John (c1700-1778+) and Sylvanus (<1718-1765+). Other possible children are Sarah ( -1777+, wife of Thomas Harbour); ? (wife of David Barnett) and ? (wife of John Farrar).

On September 14, 1715, the brothers John and William Witt of Charles City County bought 300 acres in Henrico County (Weisiger, Benjamin B., "Henrico County Deeds 1706-1737", p 46). "Indentured made this 14th day of September in the year of our Lord God, One Thousand seven hundred and fifteen, between Charles Hudson and Mary his wife of the County of Charles City and John Witt and Wm Witt of the came county 300 acres more or less lying and being the county of Henrico at a place called Tuckahoe and bounded as in said indenture is sold to Jon Witt and Wm Witt taken possession 3 Oct 1715 in Henrico co, VA." (Virginia Land Patents 1682-1689-1695 Charles City County, Virginia). The land was "lying and being in the county of Honaricho at a place called Tuckahoe". This was about 25 miles north up the James from where there father had lived. The land was a few miles west of Tuckahoe Creek, and therefore fell into Goochland County in 1728 when the county was created, and the creek was used as the dividing line between Goochland and Henrico counties. This land was eventually sold in 1751 by William Witt and John Witt, III after John Witt, II had died. Prior to their purchase, the land had been refered to as the "Young Mens Adventure", and described as being on the north side of the James River on a southern branch of Tuckahoe Creek "known by the name of Bever Pond Branch", and just north of "three notched road" and just south of the Hanover County line. In the July, 1720 Henrico County Court, John and William Witt petitioned the court concerning the boundatys of their land (Henrico County Minute Book 8, p34). He is apparently listed as a tithable in the 1732 vestry records for King William Parish (Vestry Book of King William Parish, Virginia 1707-1770, Manakin Huguenot Society, 1966, pp 70) as "John Watt, Junior Watt, 2" (probably he and his son). In 1742, he is listed as "levy free" (Goochland Order Book 5, p60). On 25 July 1747, he sold 150 acres of land adjacent to the land purchased in 1715 (Goochland County Deed Book 5, p303). It has not been determined when this land was purchased.
