During the 1870 Census he was living near Jackson (Breathitt County) Kentucky with the Arnold Family. It is unclear of his relationship to them.

If anyone will open up Find A Grave. they will see his year of death is 1884, instead of 1881. The foot stone has "Judge of Owsley County " I do not know if this is Circuit Judge or County Judge.
