He is buried in the cemetery of the First Baptist Church of Sardis, South Carolina. Although his parents lived in an area that was in Darlington District at the time of his birth, John Drura Askins lived his entire life in what today would be Florence County.

John Drura Askins was married three times, and he had at least sixteen children.

He married Sarah Susannah Ann Revell on 13 February 1856. She was a daughter of Stephen and Jersua Revell and she had been born on 27 August 1839. She died on 19 April 1859. Together they had two children: Sarah Pilkington Askins ( 29 December 1857, date of death unknown) and Susannah Ann Askins ( 2 April 1859 - 6 March 1859).

After the death of his first wife, John D. Askins married Frances Courtney, born 10 March 1844 to Ezra and Isabella Courtney of Darlington District.

John Drura Askins enlisted in the Confederate Army 1 April 1862 along with two of his brothers: William P. and Robert Evander. He served as a private in Company E of the Third (Palmetto) Battalion of South Carolina Light Artillery under Lt Colonel E.B. White. The unit was assigned to Battery Wagner on Morris Island off the Charleston harbor, and remained on that island until it was evacuated in 1864, during which John D. Askins was wounded slightly in the head. [The bombardment of Morris Island by the Union Army was, up to that time, the heaviest in history. For 58 days, fewer than 1,000 Confederates held off more than 11,000 Union troops and artillery, and the Union fleet.] His unit moved to Aresenal Hill in Columbia, South Carolina where he was reported present in December 1864 and likely remained until the city was evacuated on 16 February 1865.

After the death of his wife Frances Courtney Askins in 1892, John Drura Askins married Emma M. Kennedy. She had been born in April of 1860. John Drura Askins and Emma M. Kennedy had no children.
