Source: HISTORY OF WYOMING CO., NY
BY: F. W. BEERS, 1880
=======================================
John D. Landon, son of Jeremiah and Rebecca Landon, was born in Williamstown, Berkshire Co.,MA, Jan. 1st, 1800, and came to Perry, Wyoming Co.,NY, about 1821. He rose from captain to brigadier-general of militia. He was married to Miss ELIZA DODGE, of Leroy, Genesee Co.,NY, Jan. 7th, 1827. General Landon came to Castile, Wyoming Co.,NY about 1826, engaging first in the mercantile business, but soon abandoned it for building and hotel keeping. His hotel is now the front of Miss Greene's Cure. The general was not only popular as a landlord, but equally so as a man. He was intuitively a scholar and a gentleman. He was many times elected a justice of the peace, being never defeated. Mrs. Landon died May 29th, 1849, and the general followed her in June, 1855.
