Notes
General:
In the Newspaper notice of his death is the following story about John: " When John was eighteen years of age, he was kidnapped on the coast of Cape Cod by a British Cruser, (War of the Embargo) taken to England and thrown into Dartmoor Prison, and the tortures and cruelties suffered there would have killed a less hardy man. He, with others of his countrymen from Truro, was finally released and sent home in a brig. On the passage, while crossing the Grand Banks, their provisions ran low and were dealt out very sparingly to these released prisoners, so an attempt was made here to secure some fresh fish. John was the only one fortunate enough to catch one, a fine cod, which he threw upon the deck. The Captain picked it up with the intention of appropriating it to his own use. John sprang upon and shook him until he was glad to drop the fish, and gave him to understanding it was to be eaten in the forecastle, and it was. Long weeks on the verge of starvation had made these men desperate, and madness to have attempted to control them."
Provincetown Advocate, 13 Dec 1877
Deyo; 1890: "John Grozier was appointed [postmaster] June 8, 1847, and kept the office about a quarter of a century in his residence, near the pond. " He is also mentioned as having owned saltworks in North Truro.
John was mentioned in Truro history with other men as staking their lives to rescue people on board the Russian brig Emeline Charlotte, in October 1833. 20

Notes
General:
Seamen Charles Hill, William S. Hutchins & John S Rand have adjacent Truro death records. all lost at sea, Sept 1845, along with seamen Thomas Kenney, John Grozer, James L.A. Grozer and John Small.Medical:
Captain William Hutchins commanded the schooner Altorf, of Provincetown. The crew consisted of eight men with all but one from Truro. The Altorf was reported on the fishing ground about the 20th of June, and again spoken with in lat. 46 about the last of August. She had then wet all her salt and put away for home, very deeply laden. Since then she had not been heard from, and undoubtedly foundered at sea. The vessel was about ten years old, and half her men insured at Provincetown.
