He was a native of Inverness, Scotland, and came to America at the age of ten years, his parents having preceded him some years. [HBC 1888, 867] They located in Greene township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on what was known as the Thomas Morris farm, later owned by Ramsey Brothers. He was a native of Beaver County, Pennsylvania. [CBRWC, 372]
He was a successful, energetic farmer; a member of the United Presbyterian church; in politics a Republican.

He came from Scotland in 1801 when he was seven years old along with four sisters and his mother, who died upon shipboard during the long voyage. [AKCWF, 105]
