He resided at Gist's Search, Baltimore Co, MD. He moved to Lunenburg
County, Virginia, about 1745-1750 to the part which became Halifax Co. in
1752. He moved to Dan River, Rowan Co., North Carolina, by 1754 where he
served as a captain of the militia. His name appears as Gess, Gest,
Gist, Guess and Guest in various records of the area. He returned to
Virginia in 1756. In 1784, he lived with his son Joshua in western
North Carolina (the part which became eastern Tennessee) and probably

for the separation and erection of a new state (State of Franklin). On
