His birth and death dates come from his tombstone.[1]
Also, from his cemetery record:
He was given the title of Major by Gov. George McDuffy of SC for being the first volunteer in support of nullification. He served many years in the South Carolina legislature, 1844--
In 1832 South Carolina passed a Nullification ordinance allowing it to ignore federal laws it found unconstitutional. This action had been prompted by recent federal tariffs that were considered harmful to the state. The state's position threatened the Union and a compromise on tariff rates was worked out.
