His home was located on property purchased from the Indians secured by a grant from King William and Queen Mary of England in 1697 known as the Moriches Patent. He died May 15, 1786 aged 62 years. His grave is supposed to be in the family burial plot but is not marked.  His house is still intact but now on the next street.  (Moriches Ave.) #83 on the Osborn Shaw Cemetery Listing
