He was living in Buckingham County, Va. when he enlisted in the Virginia troops under Capt. Redd. He was employed in guarding British prisoners. He declared that he could prove his service by Charles Thurman, a citizen of Bledsoe County, who served in the same regiment with him. He was stationed for a time near Albermarle and served near Guilford Court House before the battle. He moved to Bledsoe County, Tenn. about thirty years after the War. His discharge was burned when his house was burned about 1813.
