Research Notes

While Find a Grave indicates a death and burial in Ohio, ^[5] his death record and church register clearly indicate that he died in New Jersey.^[3][4] Also, he was living in New Jersey per census records in 1814, so it is highly unlikely that his death occurred and he was buried in Ohio.^[2]
