He married and located at Philipsburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he was employed for a few years as a charcoal burner for the Philips factory. About 1836 he went to Strattonville, Clarion County, and followed the same business at the Madison Furnace for about two years. In 1839 he went to Wayne township, Armstrong County, where he was engaged in carpentering for a time and then spent a year at his former occupation of burning charcoal. Later he moved to Milton, Armstrong County, where for some time he built coal boats for the Pittsburgh market. In 1860 he removed to Blue Ball, Clearfield County, where he later died.
