Thanks Kate,
I really don't have much additional information to offer. He appears on the 1790 Census and apparently died in the 1830's in IL/IN. He supposedly was bonded to a blacksmith prior to the war. I don't have his birthdate or place nor information prior to the war. The census has him moving to KY where most of his children were born and he did leave a will.
I'm unsure of his ancestry and don't know if he was the original immigrant or not. I thought perhaps he might show on a ship's manifest.
Thanks for your efforts and I hope what little I have, helps.
