  He "came from Saratoga County in 1812 and settled in the Town Brook valley south-east of the town plot. He was a tailor by trade and cut and made clothing for the people for several years, having a place of only nine acres of land. He had seven daughters, all of whom found husbands in their own locality, and one son." A History of Stamford, by Charles D. Griffin
