Born, Berkeley County, February 2, 1760. Enlisted in Greenbrier County, September 1776, and served under Captains Corbell, Arch Stewart, Colonel Donnally, Majors Hamilton and Grimes. Claims to have had six months service at Donley’s Fort in 1781. He says that Captain Graham’s house stood outside of the fort and was much exposed so he evidently refers to the fort on Wolf Creek, and not Donnally’s Fort, in Greenbrier County northwest of Lewisburg.

Supporting claims filed by John Cutlip, John Duffield, John Patterson, Sam Gwinn, Robert Kelly, John Groves, John Duffy, and David Hanna, a nephew. He applied for pension, October 22, 1833, in Nicholas County, but claim was rejected or suspended.
