Event Notes Note (1) Marriage record indicates birthplace as Harrison County, but Minnie Kendall Lowther's "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 298, states that he "was born on February 22, 1832 in this wilderness, and spent his entire life here." Elsewhere, however, she stated that his father had moved from Harrison to Ritchie County in about 1835.
