He settled in Hamilton Co TN near where Chattanooga now stands known then as

"Moved at an early date from Bledsoe Co to Hamilton Co and settled in the neighborhood of old Dallas, which at that time was the County Seat. He later moved to Ringgold, GA where he lived for several years. During this time, his wife died.
