He received a good English and classical education under the care of the celebrated Dr. Alison. At the time of the breaking out of the war for Independence he was in Baltimore, Maryland. He accepted a commission in the Pennsylvania Line and was appointed paymaster of Col. William Thompson's battalion of riflemen. He served in various positions until the close of the Revolution, when he returned to Baltimore where he married.
