The profile was revised by removing or qualifying the unsupported 1831 Moneymore death and suffix II while preserving the complete 1770 immigration-index quotation, 1804 naturalization record, descendant statement, identity candidates and Y-DNA audit; The profile retains the proposed wife and child links only as uncertain pending source-level identification.

Needs updated on WikiTree
3 source-backed corrections remain on WikiTree. The highest-significance updates are previewed here; the filter opens the complete queue. Each page provides either paste-ready text or the exact manual relationship, confidence or vital-field action.
The unsupported birth estimate and exact probate-date death was replaced with the 1810 census age limit and 2–11 April 1831 interval; Preserve the 1802 Brooke County record as an unresolved same-name lead, retain the proposed parents as uncertain, document John as a candidate brother, and describe William only as raised by Joseph.
The unsupported 1740 Moneymore identity narrative was replaced with the held Unsourced draft; Document the 1775 Cookstown signer only as a same-name candidate and keep the proposed parents and siblings uncertain.
