Appears in Maryland in the 1790 census, owning no slaves. In Mason County, Kentucky (which was created in 1788) by 1795; in Washington County, Kentucky on the 1800 and 1810 censuses. In the 1820 census he is in Little York, Hardin County, Kentucky. In 1829 he is found in Floyd County, Indiana, applying for a pension.
