"He was gone ten years, and meanwhile endured a great many hardships and privations. (Everybody had given him up for lost, and as the years rolled on no one thought that he would ever return, save his ever faithful wife, who remained constant to him. Her hope was finally realized, to the surprise of all in has safe return.) He came back as one of the wretched examples generally the fruit of war, and finally died outdoors. "His wife was a daughter of Mr. Oyster...and a sister to Mrs.John Yoder---Two children were born to them after his return. His son George was a soldier in the Revolution."
