Emigrated to the territory of Iowa in 1836, and settled at Rockingham. He had made his first location in the west at New Boston, Mercer County, Ill., where he remained but a short time. He was a good, sound, practical man in all things. His political views were purely whig. A farmer and merchant he was accommodating and possessed a benevolent heart, ever ready to do a kindly act; and for moral and Christian worth, he had no superior. His sterling integrity in all things, both private and public, ever drew around him a host of friends, and he was deservedly popular among his fellow citizens. He served many sessions in the territorial legislature, and died at Iowa City, while a member of that body in 1844, aged thirty-eight years.
