He married Catherine Shull September 11, 1851, and fathered John Ulysses (b. 07/02/52), William (b. 1854), and Lewis (b. ?). Catherine died in 1857, and he married Margaret Lydic and fathered James F. (b. 03/29/61).

A Civil War veteran, he was drafted in Harrisburg October 22, 1862, mustered into federal service there November 2 as a private with Co. F, 171st Pennsylvania Infantry (aka "Drafted Militia"), and honorably discharged with his company August 7, 1863, although he is listed as "absent sick at muster-out."

He died at age 68 years, 11 months, and 7 days.
