Married 1st, Mirah Evaline Cate in 1871 by which he had 7 children. Married 2nd, Margaret Swagerty August 9, 1890.
He had a home Post Office and he called it Kangaroo Post Office (like Kangaroo Court), because it was strictly his Post Office, in his home, and he ran it to suit himself. (About 1891) It stayed that way with an official Kangaroo, Tenn postmark until progress finally caught up with him.
