comments

Dower releases when he sold land show that he was married at least twice, first to a woman named Margaret (who was probably the mother of his daughters) and then later to an Anne. Sources conflict as to whether Margaret was born Margaret French or Margaret Buckner (see discussion below). No evidence for Ann's maiden name is known.

Death date also seen as

• Death: 22 NOV 1751 1
• Death: 1736 in Caroline, Virginia, USA 1
• Death: May 10, 1726 (38) Caroline, Virginia, United States

But for him to have fathered the two daughters with second wife, he had to have lived past 1726.
