Government land, where he resided till the breaking out of the war of 1812, in 
which he served fifteen months. He was married in 1812, and in 1815 sold his 
land in Boston Township and entered land in Perry Township, which is now owned 
and occupied by his grandson, T. J. W., where he resided till his death, which
