Biography

He died December 20, 1804 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky after getting into an altercation in a local tavern. He evidently made the mistake of turning his back on his advesary and was stabbed from behind. He cried out, "I am dirked!" and died soon after. He is reportedly buried at Old Pagan Cemetery, in Ellis Grove, Illinois. [1]
