Early in May of the same year he arrived at Waterloo, Ontario, where he made his home for a short time with old Abraham Erb who assisted him in procuring a position to work at his trade, namely, that of shoemaking, which he followed for two or three years after his arrival in the country of his adoption. In 1832 he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Cressman) Erb. She was born January 28th, 1813, and died February 8th, 1868. Soon after their marriage they moved to Woolwich Township, about a mile east of St. Jacobs, Ontario, on the farm now possessed by John M. Weber where he followed farming several years.
