Notes:
His will was written 12 Apr 1811 and proved 3 Jun 1817 (LDS film
0819856). He was a Lieutenant commanding the Second Company
Warwick , 1767 (The Militia of RI 1767, RI Historical Magazine Vol. 6
1855-6) He was known to have been in Albany Co. NY by 1782, but it is
possible that he moved earlier. He then moved to Easton, Washington
Co. NY in 1794 and then Smyrna, Chenango Co NY in 1796 (Lila Sampson).
He was listed in the 1800 and 1810 Census for Smyrna. His will indicates that
he had carpenter tools, which might mean that he was a carpenter.
However, he did also have a farm in Smyrna, which, according to Lila Briggs Sampson, commanded a view up and down the Valley for several miles.
