Notes/Misc Details
Notes"In hope and peace he quits this mortal strife, Freed from the toils and cares and woes of life, When the last trumpet's call shall reach the tombs, And loud proclaim that Christ to judgement comes, And when the Judge by his all powerful words." [SAR: 1775 Lieut. In the Colonel's Co. Newport & Bristol Reg't; 1776 Capt 10th Co. 1st Reg't Militia; 1777-1781 Maj. In same]
