Research Note

There are several problems with this profile: which need further study and clarification: Family Search has him born in Scotland, whereas several Ancestry Family Tree profiles place his birth in Pennsylvania. Find a Grave shows no location, Family Search and several Ancestry Family Trees place his death in Tennessee, while Geneanet places it in Watauga, North Carolina. Find a Grave shows no location. All are agreed that he was buried in Watauga.

Very possible that we are mixing two people,
