Research Notes
- listed children born in 3 different states is a major red flag for conflation.
- listed birthplace, death place is the same county in PA, yet 3 children is listed born out of state?
- death age was 41 and died during the Revolutionary War, making him INELIGIBLE for SAR/DAR certification.
- Many listings, elsewhere, shows this man having a dozen children, fighting in the War and dying at 41, that is quite an amazing feat for the 1760-1770 era.
