Tho deceased was born in Richmond county, Virginia, on tho 14th day of January, 1758. In early life, his parents emigrated to tho State of South Carolina, and settled in New bery District. When the subject of this notice was quite young, the war broke out, and though he was but l(i years old, a desire for liberty, a heart burning for the good and welfare of the country, bo fled to North Carolina for reffuge, and took up arms in tho defence of his coun¬ try, and joined Col. Williams in the seige at the battle of Kings Mountain, N. C. In that battle he was wounded in his left shoulder. Some time after that on his return to South Carolina in a scouts iug party he was shot through the left leg with a musket ball; after be got well in another scouting party he was cut down with a broad swovcl by tho tories and left with the blood streaming from his forehead, supposed to be dead. Af¬ ter liis recovery he again joined bis com¬ panions and continued in the service till tho end of tho war. After peace was made he married M iry Dashields, who departed this life 22d Oct. 1800 .—About the year 1815 lie was again married to Elizabeth Kilpatrick.—He resided in Pen¬ dleton about 20 years, he then emigrated to the State of Tennessee, Lincoln coun¬ ty. About the year 1819 he moved to Lawrence county, Ala., where he resided till the year 1830, when lie was bereaved of his last wife. The same year he mov¬ ed to Carroll county, Ga., where he resi¬ ded till his death. Having obtained peace and pardon in tho wounds of a Crucified Redeemer in the year 1838 , he united with the Baptist church at Betha¬ ny, Carroll county, Ga., of which he con tiiiucd a faithful member till death. Re¬ ligion was his theme, he was regular in, his attendance at the house of God, de- i lighted in the service of the Sanctuary, 1 and when it was said come let us go to the house of God to worship, his totering frame could be slen wending its way to the place of woifjiip, till the last live or six months before his death, he was de¬ prived of that privilige, which was a grief of mind and sorrow of heart to him. Yet he murmured not at the dispensa¬ tions of Providence, but was resigned to the will of his Heavenly Father. lie was a lover of his country, Republican in prin¬ ciple; as a citizen and neighbor he was respected and beliked, honest in his dealing with his fellow man. From the wounds he recived in the service of his country, as a soldier, we judge be brave; as a husband, he was affectionate; as a father kind and tender; as a chris tian, meek and humble, devoted and zeal¬ ous, worthy of imitation, adorning his profession by an orderly walk and Godly conversation. During the short ac¬ quaintance of 2 years, we had with him, religion was the theme he delighted to converse upon, and when that subject was mentioned, there was an expression in b.is countenance that bespoke the feel jpg of lfis heart,—To use his own lau g n ag e, • 'thp;‘e w.e;:e pi any things which had taken place in Jjjs life which he Ipif, for¬ gotten, but one thing Jrc never had, that Wffff the time apd place where God spoke peace to his troubled soul.” While age and infirmity vyns prepajrjpg his body for the grave his spirit was ripening for the mansions of bliss, he bore his afflictions with patience, and Christian often he expressed with Christ, a willingness there to fear depart of j and was uo death nor dread of the grave, It is a mat¬ ter of comfort and consolation to his be¬ reaved connections, that he died in the triumphs of a living faith, He was perfectly composed and in his right mind, knew his friends till the last moment ol his earthly existence.—Laid his hands on his breast and fell asleep in the arms of Jesus, aged 94 years 2 months and 7 days. On Monday, 22d of March, his mortal re¬ mains were filtered with the honors of war, in the grave yard at Bethany Church to await the morn of the resereetiou. “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.” K H.
