(Medical):880 - BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

the early records of the county. As a member of the State Legislature for twelve years, he discharged his duties with fidelity and commendable zeal. He was possessed of more than ordinary business sagacity, and accumulated, before his death, a large landed estate, consisting of nearly 2,000 acres. He never moved from his first location, his death occurring there in 1834, and that of his wife and one son about the same time, all dying of typhoid fever. In his death, the community recognized the loss of a valuable citizen and useful member of society. He had seven sons and one daughter, of whom our subject was the fifth child.
