He had brothers Thomas and John. We have found John in Bowie Co. Texas. Thomas and William were last known to be in Purcell/Pursell Indian Territory Oklahoma in late 1880's and early 1890's. Do not know names of wives, except these boys were neighbors to Whisnant families in NC. Thomas perhaps old enough to marry before leaving NC, but John and William were younger and probably single. Sorry I don't know more. Betty
