He was born sometime around 1765. I believe his is married to Mary Smith who was a cousin of Robert Fulton's mother also named Mary Smith. Robert Fulton was married to Harriet Livingston a cousin of Alexander Hamiltons's wife Elizabeth Schuyler. Alexander Hamilton's mother was Rachael Levine Fawcett and his grandfather was Sir John Pollock. Again these names are connected to the Lewis riverboat family out of Pittsburgh who were in the 1800 census classified as boat builders.
