the Revolution, and first immigrated to the fort at Louisville, but after a
short time moved to Breckinridge County in the early part of the year 1795,
settling near Cloverport.  In 1826 he moved to Hancock County, and settled
about four miles south of Hawesville, where he resided until his death in
