In his early manhood he became identified with lumbering operations in the State of Maine. About 1828 he removed to Tioga County, New York, where he was engaged in lumbering for two years. Removal was then made to Carbondale, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and in December, 1834 [1837?], he came with his family to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in lumber operations on Sandy Lick creek, in Pinecreek township. In 1855 he became one of the pioneer lumbermen in Mecosta County, Michigan, and there his death occurred.
