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!
