His mother died when he was but a few days old and he is said to have been sent to live in the family of an uncle, probably in Worthington to which place his father subsequently removed. Here he learned the carpenter's trade; but removing to Hinesburgh, VT., soon after his majority, he soon bought a farm upon which he settled. "He was a man of quiet, industrious and thrifty habits and much respected by his townsmen. He accumulated a handsome property "and passed away in Hinesburgh--information from Leonard Genealogy book by Manning Leonard.

He came to Hinesburgh about 1788 from Worthington MA. He settled in west part of the town. He was by trade a carpenter. He worked for a time at his trade with Thomas Marsh. But having a preference for farming he soon bought a piece of land and ever after was a farmer. In February 1799 he married by justice of peace Gen. Leavenworth to Lucy Meech, only daughter of Elisha Meech, with whom he first became acquainted with building a barn for her father.
