He was a veteran of the Revolution, and a British cannon-ball had taken off both legs, and "so he laid down his arms." And he carried bullets from the enemy's guns in his hip to the hour of his death. He lies in the "Taylor burying-ground, " and his wife, Nancy, who was born in 1795, probably, rests by his side."
Another source said his legs had to be amputated due to gangrene after being wounded:
