Biography
The 1850 U.S. Census identifies him with the suffix "Jr." At that time, such a suffix did not necessarily denote that a man was named for his father; it was simply used to differentiate between older and younger individuals with the same first and last names (sometimes with no blood relationship between them).
He was a farmer throughout his life. His burial was at Beulah Cemetery, Beulah, Hopkins County, Kentucky.
