He was a steadfast Wesleyan in religious notions and a preacher of that creed. They came with a title or at once acquired a title to a tract of three or four hundred acres of forest land adjoining Willis Burdette and William Roache's lands on the Middle Fork of Reedy; they visited and kept up acquaintance with people of Ravenswood and upper Mill Creek countried of Jackson County. He was a man of an education a little better than the average pioneer, and was influential there for forty years. [It goes on to list children and their families. There are obvious errors, including the dates of death. Was his wife Elvira or Isabella? They had a daughter named Elvira but census shows the wife was Isaballa]
