He served as a private in the North Carolina Continental Line and fought in Revolutionary War at the Battle of Kings Mountain (according to his application for Revolutionary War pension, which was denied). 1814, moved to Castlewood, Russell Co., VA. 1826, moved to Carr's Fork, then in Perry County, KY, now a part of Knott County. He is buried in an unmarked tomb in the Carr Creek Memorial Cemetery because the original marker has deteriorated. (Information from "Kentucky Bibliographies Project for Knott County")
