Historical clarification of location: Since Greenbrier County was not created until 1778, his county of birth origin is not verified, but considered to be Augusta County, a predecessor of Greenbrier, County. Sources also have younger siblings born in Augusta County. Point Pleasant, Hampshire County and Greenbrier County are located in, what is now, West Virginia, after West Virginia's creation in 1863 and confirmation in 1866. Highland County and Botetourt County remained with Virginia.The county name was retained. Mulhausen-2 19:47, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
