He embraced religion together with his wife in 1830 and united with the Christian Church and served in the capacity of Clerk until their removal to Mich. in 1846, when they settled on their farm where they have since lived for over 36 years. When they removed to Vergennes they transferred their membership to the Vergennes Christian Church where he served as Deacon from that time until his death, having in the meantime served the Town as Justice of the Peace two terms and P.

In his family relations he was a devoted husband and father, was loved and revered by his children and children's children.... Lowell Journal (Michigan) of 22 Nov 1882
