His wife, Margaret, in making application for her Widow's War Pension, describes her husband: "about 5'8" tall, fair complexion, red hair, blue eyes." He lived in Pittsylvania County, Virgina U.S.A., Lincoln County, Tennessee U.S.A., Pike County, Missouri U.S.A. (for almost 1 year), and Polk County, Missouri U.S.A.
