Biography

Birth: No accurate estimate of his age at death or birth date is known. (The basis of the 1731 date used is unknown.) He was very likely born in Virginia, although not necessarily in Brunswick County.

He apparently had no wife or children as evidenced by his will.

Death: between Feb. 24 and Mar. 28, 1763.

He left a will in Brunswick County, Va. in 1763 in which he names 2 brothers, a nephew, and 3 women which he does identify any relationship with. His date of death is thus between the date of signing and date of proving the will in court.

Will, dated 24 Feb 1763, proved 28 Mar 1763^[1]
