You made no comment on the Dropsy or the Dutch Middle Annie

How about him being there for the 1812 war,then - do you think he made his money that way?

Perhaps he married this Ann before he went?

Oh why weren't they sensible and try to write it all down $:-\$

Thanks for the link - must check up on causes of dropsy - wasn't it heart/circulation - explains a lot of his rellies probs.

Know anything about early marriages - perhaps he was an early version of Lonnie Donegan

yes -we know he died May 1823 and the correct age and origin - Scotland. The A Black apparently appears on quite a few death certs - was a mortician according to my cousin in NJ.

Just received the copy of death cert. The A Black referred to the next person. Cousin's eyesight must be a bit iffy

Cemetry is definitely Dutch Middle. I couldn't find it on your link Annie

Now trying to find a marriage between him and this Ann(e).
