Freeport, Armstrong Co, PA

He was reared and educated in his native township, and his early life was spent on the Allegheny river, acting as steamboat pilot, which position he held for thirty-seven years. In 1850 he moved to his a farm of ninety-six acres, which originally formed part of his father's property, but continued to act as pilot until 1875, when he retired from the river.
