A biosketch of a grandson Ezra Stokes reports [11]:
His paternal grandfather, John Stokes, who was a native of Medford, followed the trade of a cooper there for several years. A man of strong physique, he lived to the age of eighty-seven years, and was extremely well preserved. He never in his life wore eye-glasses, and even in his last days was able to read very fine print with ease. In political affiliation he was a lifelong Whig. Religiously, he was in fellowship with the Society of Friends. He married a Miss Haines, who belonged to a long-settled and respected family of Burlington County. She bore him quite a number of children.
