In 1821 he was enrolled in Hampden Sydney College living in Charlotte at time ^[1]This is where the Union Theological Seminary is located.

In 1835 he was enrolled in University of North Carolina ^[2] and in 1836 ^[3]

He may have died while attending college in North Carolina and that may be why he is buried there. I have no record of him actually dying in his hometown Mecklenburg, Virginia
