They arrived in Lincoln Co., to the part that later was West Catawba circa 1760's. He may have died there, or may have died in old Buncombe Co., NC. His wife would have died in what is West Catawba. Probably the graves have faded away, or not marked well. It would be great to find one or two of them. Best Regards, Wylene
