• Notes

  At one time owned a distillery in North Carolina. —— Son Reuben served in Civil War. Though coming from the South he was a pronounced Union man, and in 1864, though nearly past military age, he enlisted for service in the Forty-seventh Illinois Infantry and remained in the army until the close of hostilities. He participated with Sherman on the glorious march to the sea. After the war, he returned to Illinois and died at Plymouth, that state, in 1906.
