He owned land in Pitt County, North Carolina but sold it and moved to Warren County Georgia. There he bought land and received a grant from the state of Georgia for more land in 1797 in Columbia County that bordered his land in Warren County. He also is recorded as receiving several more land grants and owned considerable property in Warren County. Part of these grants were probably for payment of services during the Revolution, as was the method the government had of rewarding soldiers for service. From Internet
