Notes:

[R13.4.1]

He probably died between 1870 and 1880 in Goochland Co VA.

married in Goochland Co VA
see Richmond Enquirer 1828-01-31 p3 col 6

Note: I am not sure he was a son of Samuel, but it seems likely.
He might be from Samuel's second wife Ann instead of Susanna. I don't have his exact birth date, but
from the two census entries it was about 1805. Samuel married Ann in December of that year. A likely
scenario is that Susanna died in childbirth and Samuel re-married quickly thereafter.

He was a farmer.
