• Notes

  Moved to Maine with the family when a boy. He was educated in the public school, and when a young man, came to West Newfield, in which town he was a pioneer. Here he made a clearing in the forest and built a log house, later, after he had cleared a considerable tract and gotten it into a good state of cultivation, he erected a fine frame house. Here he spent the remainder of his life, and died in 1871. He was a shrewd and far-sighted man of business, of sound judgment and upright character. He was a Whig in politics and an Orthodox in religion.
