I came across this post by happenstance. He is a distant ancestor of mine, his grandmother's maiden name was Kear as indicated in the threads, and she was the sister of my third great-grandmother.

I have researched his children but have some gaps. If anyone here is still looking for information or wants to share information about his family, please reply. Thanks.
