He was on the 1830 Census at Ball township, pg 11. He started purchasing land in Benton County. He was a County Court Judge between 1844 and 1846, according to Goodspeed’s Book about early Benton County. In December 1849 he started selling his land and by June of 1850 he was in Austin, Travis County, Texas with his wife, son and 4 daughters. I would really like to know if there is any information that could be found on him during his years in Benton County. His wife was Nancy Jane TINNIN. One of the pieces of land was purchased in partnership with a Lemuel TINNIN (TINAN or TENAN). I believe the land was located close to Maysville.
