He inherited lands and stock and always engaged in farming although he gave attention to other enterprises as well. In 1833 he put up a building and rented it out for hotel pur­poses, until 1845, after which he conducted it as the Forest House, for six years. He also was post­master for years of the Forest Post Office, which was later changed to the Memphis Post Office. At that time, the turnpike road was the main thoroughfare between Pittsburg and Erie.
