His family migrated from Virginia to Wilkes County, North Carolina and then to Newberry District, South Carolina and then to the Pendleton District, South Carolina. Census counts imply that he was still living with his family when they moved to South Carolina. I have concluded that he was married in South Carolina but could not determine whether he married in Newberry or Pendleton District. All his children appear to have been born in Pendleton District.
