Research Notes

Need to find birth, marriage, death, burial, probate and children's info, if any.

Marriage:
Prior to 1810 is educated guess, based on 1810 census data, showing him as head of house with one comparably-aged female in the home.
New York (state) is also based on educated guesswork, since most of the family was in NY at the time.

NOTE I avoid using on-line trees, such as those at ancestry, FamilySearch, my heritage, etc, as actual sources. They are more often incorrect than not, sometimes hilariously so. However, I will often use them as a "starting point" or as a source of hints for where to look next. Johnson-66920 09:33, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
