Memorial record for this Patriot found in Find-A-Grave Feb 2022 - Burial Details Unknown
Patriot is buried in an unknown/lost grave. His last home was in Christian County, KY. He departed his home in 1825 to return to the Carolinas and Georgia to find evidence of his service in order to make application for a pension. He died in an unknown location on that trip (per wife's testimony in Rev War Pension App R-6030). His final resting place has been lost to time.
His service is memorialized on a granite monolith in the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery West placed by the John Manire Chapter, KY SAR, in 2012. This monument contains the names of all Rev War Patriots who lived and/or died in Christian County. It serves as the de-facto memorial stone for all of the Patriots buried in Christian County, KY, and beyond who are whereabouts unknown. Each year, in April, the KY Society hosts a Central District "Patriot's Day" event to honor each of the Patriots listed on the monolith. Due to the absence of an actual grave for many of the men named, the monolith serves as a "mass marker" and participants are authorized to count five of the Patriots buried in unknown locations toward the Patriot Grave Marking Medal.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
