Then, returning to South Carolina, he served under both Colonel Hammond and General Williamson.  Afterwards, he marched into the Cherokee Nation under Colonel Picken's Regiment.
        He lived for awhile in both Richmond and Hancock counties, Georgia, but came to Amite County, Mississippi circa 1800.  In 1831/33 he was granted a pension of $60 per year for his services in the Revolutionary War.  His will, of record in the Amite County Chancery Clerk's Office at Liberty, Mississippi, was probated in 1838/9.
