tie down a source!  The only place the date is listed is in an unsourced
family history book written about 75 years ago.  The year is engraved on his
tombstone installed by the D.A.R. in 1941 on the 100th anniversary of his
death.  I have travelled and researched relentlessly in Co Tyrone and Ulster
Province, (Northern) Ireland where his birth was also listed.  There are no
records to be found across the pond.  I have his rejected Revolutionary War
papers, no date listed. I have been working on this for the past 13 years.


Cynthia, we can all feel your pain, for sure!
