================
He entered the service during the Revolutionary War, as did two of his brothers and died from smallpox or measles, at Nansemond Court House in 1783 after Cornwallis' surrender. The traditional account of his Revolutionary War Service is very vivid and clear, yet it has been impossible to discover any document showing proof of his service for his relatives.
There were eight companies of 84 men in each from Culpepper Co. where he resided, but no list of the men in these companies has been found. These companies had for Captains, John Green, John Thornton, George Slaughter, Gabriel Long, Gabriel Jones, John Gillson, Wm McClanahan and Abram Buford.
