His wife had four brothers in that war under Gen. Harrison. He moved to Ohio afterward, and in 1843 located near Evansport, coming from Stark county with his seven children, his wife having died. He died at a daughter's, Christmas Eve, 1876, near Evansport. A son John, was the father of (Adam), who located near Stryker from which place he went to Millcreek township..."
