He married a woman named Anna. One family historian states that her last name may have been Herndon. ----. Her last name may have been Herndon. However the IGI Family Record sheet names her as Anna Dunlap. They married about 1756. It is believed that they had twelve children. He was probably a very religious man since all his children had Biblical names. A conjecture is that he joined the Methodist Church. His oldest son was Methodist Missionary to South Carolina. In 1782, he was appointed State Tobacco Inspector at Little Falls Warehouse, Va. The IGI Family Record sheet lists seven children.
