He made silk hats, and even at a recent date, there were some of his hat molds it the home of his granddaughter, Mary Parker Miller. He served in the War of the Revolution as Major. The records, which should give his services have been destroyed. He was wounded in the thigh in an engagement with the British at Burn Coat Bridge, near Sarecta, Duplin County. He was dead in 1790, as his name does not appear on the census of ITIH).
