Came from Kentucky and settled in the southern part of Fulton County about 1840. He there cleared and cultivated his farm. His most used tools were his ax and mattock. He was a strong man, both physically and mentally. For years he chopped, grubbed, split rails and worked his land six days in the week, and preached two or three sermons on the Lord's Days. Often he would walk five miles, preach two sermons in a schoolhouse, and return to his home congregation for a discourse in the evening. Like most men of his time and place, he was clad in homespun. He was a devout man, well versed in the Scriptures and gave himself to his Master's work. In a wide territory he was well known and tenderly loved by many people. He moved to Texas in 1857.
