Born in Virginia in 1801, John Antram moved to Clinton County in 1817. Antram was a stockman and drover, driving cows to the Philadelphia and Baltimore markets. When he was 96, Uncle John, as he was known as during his later years, was granted membership in the Friends Church. Although birthright to be a Quaker, he had been denied membership for over 60 years for “marry out of Meeting.” Uncle John Antram died at age 97.
