While pursuing his theological studies, he was employed as Tutor in the college and after his licensure occupied, for some time, the place of Professor and Vice-President. He was installed in 1816 by the same Presbytery, pastor of the churches of Culpepper and Madison, in Virginia, and preached there until April 1821 when he moved to Ohio.
