He served as a lieutenant in the Revolutionary war.

He was a Welsh sailor. He came to America settling first near Staunton, Virginia, in 1750. He moved to Turkey Foot, then in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, later known as Confluence, in Somerset County, where in 1765 he built the first log cabin in that section.
In 1779 he was a first lieutenant in the 1st Battalion of organized militia of Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
