He served under Jackson in the war of 1812 and was in the memorable battle of New Orleans. He had been a member of the Baptist Church over 60 years, and was a man of unimpeachable character. He had been blind 11 years, and 4 years of that time he was unable to walk alone, but he was a patient sufferer.
