He was born in the parish of Scone, Scotland, and there grew to manhood, receiving a common-school education, and learning the weaver's trade. He afterward sailed to America, and first landed in New York, but immediately pushed westward, making a permanent location near Taylorstown, Buffalo township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.
Soon after his marriage, he located on a farm which was situated in Buffalo township, on the National pike, cultivated the land and also conducted a store.
He was an active and consistent member of the U. P. Church; to which he gave a liberal support. In political life he was a follower of the Free-Soil party while it existed, and afterward became a Republican.
