He moved to Pope county Arkansas and lived in the area known as Norristown,
Pope, Ar.
He is listed as a veteran on the 1850 Pope county census and died there soon
after the census. Where would you look for his military and pension records?
In S.C., Il., or Ar.?


Bounty land grants for the War of 1812 are Federal documents, held at NARA.
I'm assuming this is the War he was in, although he could possibly have been
a veteran of the Mexican/Texas War possibly, although he'd be in his 50s.
