Does any one know what happened to him after he got out of prison for manslaughter? His wife and family left and moved to Illinois and then farther west. They are in later censuses. He evidently never reconciled with them. But the last census I can find for him was in 1860 when he was in prison. There are those whose trees state that he died in 1852 but that wasnt possible because he murdered someone after that and was in prison until 1861. He was born in Pennsylvania and was in prison there.
