**********
Note: Springdale Cemetery has no record of his burial, for this reason I am placing his memorial in Moffatt Cemetery. BIG Thank You to Stephen Cantrell for searching Springdale Records.

Age difficult to determine from census records but was probably not born in 1797 as the age reported to the undertaker suggests. His age on the 1860 census seems most likely to be the closest to correct.
