An old history I found said he made grist mills, spinning wheels and wagons and later on in life, he made coffins! The man who owed him the money was a farmer, I believe, but he may have moved west (to Illinois) by the time of this record. I wonder if that could have made a difference.

Well, thanks. I guess it's not going to make too much difference if I know for sure. I was just curious because I think they may be related and I'm just trying to find any evidence of that. I think I'll go ahead and investigate it as a theory anyway.
