He owned property in the town of Beaufort, and plantations nearly of 532 acres on Port Royal Island, and 450 acres on Okatie Creek. "Okatee" soon became his family's principal home, along with other tracts on the same waterway. He died in 1755, at the age of 40 yrs, on the island of Bermuda where he had gone for his health.
