Event Notes Note (1) Minnie Kendall Lowther (HRC, p. 603) reports his death as 1865 near Weston in Lewis County, but more official sources state Feb 13 1862 in West Union, Doddridge County. The death date on his now-weathered grave marker also appears to be Feb 13 1862. His will, dated July 8 1860, was submitted for probate at the February 1862 term of the Doddridge County Court. Note (2) In 1840, he was enumerated as the only member of the household.
