Notes |
- A native of Chester County, Pennsylvania, he enlisted in Washington County, Virginia, and served a tour of duty in Virginia Troops. In 1780, he moved to Washington County, North Carolina (now part of Tennessee), and enlisted as a private in the North Carolina Troops. He also served as a private in the Georgia Troops under Captain James Montgomery, Captain, William Trimble, and Colonel Elijah Clarke. In 1783, he moved to the Ninety Sixth District of South Carolina and in 1793 to Buncombe County, North Carolina. In 1818, he moved to Habersham County (later Fannin County), Georgia, and settled near Morgantown Baptist Church. His widow, Mary, applied for a pension for his services. Her claim was rejected for lack of proof of service.
