Notes - He removed to Coleraine (NY). He was the first to buy land in Villenova, Chautaugua County, New York, his deed being dated Oct. 28, 1809, for lots 19, 27 and 36, and he took his family to what was then the wilderness. They endured much hardship. He was the first supervisor of that town, 1823, and school commissioner 1823-4; justice of the peace for many terms. He was a farmer, mechanic and land surveyor, and laid out most of the highways and many of the farms in Villenova. He was at Hanover, from which Villenova was set off, when he was appointed guardian of his four youngest children, in 1815, by the Worcester County probate court. In 1843 he removed to Bristol in Northern Indiana and died there.
He was a Senior Warden in the Masons
He "was a cultured man, of literary and scientific tastes. He was a first-class surveyor, and ran many of the lines, laid out the early roads, was the first justice of the peace and drew the legal papers called for in the early days. He moved to Indiana in the early forties."
