Our records indicate that he was born in 1780 somewhere in NC and that he migrated to Tennessee in the area that is now Putnam County. Putnam County was formed from several counties including Jackson. We know that he had the following children: John Q., Eli, Luaney and Jane. We don't have any information about where he came from in North Carolina. I would be interested in seeing if we can find a connection. Also, are there any male relatives in your line that have done the DNA test? That would be the easiest way to prove a connection.
