On August 9, 1822, he received a land grant of 81 acres on Marsh Creek in
Whitley County near his brother William who had proceeded him to
Kentucky. His brother Benjamin also received land grants in the same
month indicating that they probably moved from Wilkes County, NC to

Betty Ann Harmon i n Whitley County in May 1821 and remained in the County
