  Notes	His death certificate claims he was Virginia-born, but his military records and censuses all say Maryland, the military records specifically identifying Frederick County. He married Louise (Lovina in the 1860 census)Jones and fathered Thomas (b. @1853), George (b. @1856), Jacob (b. @1857), Christian E. (b. 08/17/58), and Alfred (b. 06/08/60). In 1860, he was a farmer living with his family in Lower Swatara Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and stood 5' 4" tall with black hair, black eyes, and a black complexion. A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Boston, Massachusetts, February 27, 1864, and mustered into federal service at Readville, Sussex County, Massachusetts, March 4 as a private with Co. G, 5th Massachusetts Cavalry. The army withheld $2.50 pay for lost canteen and bayonet, and on August 11, 1865, detached him as a laborer on the military railroads. He honorably discharged with his company October 31, 1865, at Clarksville, Texas. He died at his son Christian's home from "uremia" with "paralysis" a contributing factor.
