He preached at a number of the churches in the Conference, but his labors were principally confined to Randolph and Chatham counties. His ministerial report to the Conference at Bethlehem in Alamance county, in 1857, states that he preached sixteen sermons that year, attended one funeral, assisted in superintending a Sunday school. In 1858, at the Conference at Pope's chapel in Granville county, North Carolina, Rev. D. T. Deanes was appointed a committee to secure the return of his license. He was only a licentiate.
