He later lived at Harmony, Chautauqua Co., NY. He died Nov. 7, 1834. There has been some doubt of death date due to someone in the pension office June 7, 1928 wrote down a date without reading his pension file. Children were not listed in his pension file, so the children named are the people of the right age found in the right location.
