1790 Census data can't be for him, especially if he died in 1770s. All Sources actually more likely to be for son (or even grandson). More research needed.
Thanks for your comment. If I recall correctly, someone "gifted" this profile to me "as is" and I have done little with it. Please feel free to directly edit the profile!
