He is assumed to have been born in Maryland, and is buried in the old family graveyard near Windsor's Crossroads in Yadkin Co., N.C., near his wife Nancy Ann Riley. He served in the militia of Montgomery County, Maryland, as a private. His unit was the 3rd Company, Middle Battalion on September 4, 1777, and the 2nd Battalion in July of 1780.
