In 1800 he was located in Morris Twp., Greene Co., Pa.(Census). At the time of 1810 he was still in Morris Twp., Greene Co.(1810 census). It is possible that in 1820 he was living in the household of Joseph Parsons in Morris Twp. The Gorby Book states that Henry Parsons (presumably a son of Vincent) was born in 1785, probably in Greene Co. By analyzing census records it was concluded that Vincent's wife died sometime between 1810 and 1820.
