He first went to Jacks Valley in 1778 when he served under his brother, George, in the militia. In 1781 and 1782 he served in the militia from the Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, section.
On July 19, 1787, he warranted 112 acres on Shaver's Creek, (Stone Valley) Barree Township, Huntingdon County. The land was surveyed September 10. He was listed on the tax lists of Barree 1788-1802. In 1788 he was a private in the Barree militia; 1791-1793 he was a captain. May 6, 1802 he secured a patent for his land; two weeks later he sold it and moved to Westfield, New York (near his brother, William, of Erie, Pennsylvania). Here he was one of the founders of the Cross Roads Presbyterian Church.
