He lived on a farm later owned by James Barnes, a short distance east of the "Unicorn," Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Revolutionary War: At the age of nineteen he was a company commander, and at the battle of Brandywine narrowly escaped death from the effects of a severe wound. In 1801 he was a member of the Legislature, subsequently he was State senator and Speaker of the Senate. Commissioned to adjust Indian aggressions, it was in his presence that the Indian chief Logan delivered his celebrated speech. Its tender and magnanimous sentiments won the eulogiums of Thomas Jefferson and others.
