In the year 1831, he settled on 360 acres of land in Chester Township, Clinton County, about three miles southeast of where New Burlington is located. He was industrious, persevering and energetic in his business matters. During the latter years of his life, he was troubled with heart disease, from the effects of which he died very suddenly, January 11, 1871. He was a kind and loving father, and an affectionate husband. In his death, Clinton County lost eno of her most worthy and honorable citizens. He was a member of the Baptist Church at Jonah’s Run, in-which church he officiated as Deacon. Clinton County has had but few men more worthy of representation in the annals of her history than the subject of our sketch.
