During the War of 1812 he served as First Lieutenant under Capt. Henry Evans. He died in the State of Louisiana, where he had gone for the purpose of purchasing a plantation upon which to locate his large family of sons. [HBC1883, 423]
His parents removed from Virginia to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, prior to 1800. He remained with his parents in Mercer County until 1802, in which year he settled in Mercer township, Butler County.
