-------------------
Man's age to seventy years is set;
How short the time! How frail the state!
And if to eighty he arrive,
Does rather sigh and groan than live:
None can secure their vital breath
Against the bold demands of death,
With skill to fly, or how'r to save!

Served in the Revolutionary War. Husband of Nancy, who predeceased him on December 12, 1817.
