I have leaned that he was born 1765-1775 in NC and died 7/16/1827 in Maury Co. TN. Married 2/8/1798 in Orange Co., NC to Mary Ray, daughter of David Ray. She was born 1784-1794 in NC, and d. 12/11/1832 in Maury Co., TN. Other than their decendants, this is all I know about him for now. Please let me know of anything further you find out about him.
