He came to America after his brother Jonathan, studied medicine at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and for a time traveled over the country, selling notions, but eventually, about 1836, settled at Kittanning, where he practiced medicine and had a drug store, being the second druggist at that place; later he also had a general store; he had two children.

Known as "Dr. J. K.", he learned wagonmaking, but later studied medicine and obtained his degree, engaging in practice the remainder of his life.
