He assisted on the survey that led to the building of the Erie Railroad, and in 1828 entered the firm of J. G. Pierson Brothers, taking charge of its New York office.
In 1830, he suggested the Erie Railroad from Lake Erie to the Hudson, was director of the Erie Company, and for time its treasurer, carrying through many of the early financial plans of the road in conjunction with his brother-in-law, Eleazar Lord. Upon the death of his father, in 1869, he became the sole proprietor of the Ramapo Iron Works."
