In company with Sotha Hickman he was captured by Indians, an account of which is given elsewhere. He was a man of sterling worth and for that day accumulated considerable property. The census of Monongalia County taken in 1782 before Harrison County was formed, shows that at that date his family consisted of four members. The inventory of his estate was dated August 4, 1787, the exact date of his death being unknown. His descendants still reside in the County. ------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access other biographies for Harrison County, WV by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/wv/harrison/bios.html -------------------------------------------------------------------
