His father died before his birth, and he lived with his uncle, Cornelius Board. When he was sixteen years of age he went to Washingtonville, Orange County (New York) to learn the tanning and currying business with Moses Ely, and there remained until he was of age. He then bought 140 acres of land near his uncle's home, where he lived until 1850, being a farmer and dealing much in cattle. For fifteen years he supplied West Point with meat. In 1849 he was put in charge of the Yelverton estate at Chester, moving there in 1850 and engaging in mercantile business, freighting produce to New York until 1874, when he retired from active business. In 1842 he was on the building committee of the Chester Academy, and as long as the building was used as an academy he was on the board of trustees. He sold the ground for the Presbyterian church at Chester from a part of the Yelverton estate. He was frequently administrator and executor of estates, and had a high business reputation.
He was a quiet man, not seeking any public offices, preferring the life of a business man. He married, in December 1822, Huldah, daughter of Captain William and Susan (Tuthill) Hudson, of Blooming Grove, Orange County, New York. She was born July 25, 1801. He was a major in the militia. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church at Chester. He died March 5, 1894.
