Was born on the old landed homestead in West Orange Valley, April 5, 1769. In later years he removed some distance back into the mountain, where he settled on a farm of fifty acres situated on what is now Laurel avenue. Here he died Nov. 30, 1854. He erected a stone house on Mt. Pleasant avenue, with road running between this and his son Moses’s homestead. He cultivated the land and erected a shop where he set up a turning lathe for the turning of tool handles of dogwood. His power was furnished by water from the nearby brook. He maintained this shop for a number of years. He was the straightforward and upright type of man, industrious and conscientious, a member of the First Presbyterian church. At his house were held joint meetings of the society, and he was a devoted member of his church.634
