After completing his public-school education, he stayed for a short time as a helper on his father's farm, and later assumed the management of the farm and carried it on until his death. He raised large numbers of cattle and sheep as well as some garden produce. He was Selectman for a number of years; and he represented the town in the State legislature for a time, fulfilling the obligations of these important trusts to the full satisfaction of his constituents. For many years prior to his death he was a Deacon of the Baptist church. Educational matters obtained considerable attention from him. He took an active part in the service of the militia, being finally chosen Captain. He married Betsey Morgan , daughter of Nathaniel Morgan , a well-to-do farmer of Plainfield .

When the health of the latter became poor, he took full charge The farm, which is a large one, containing nearly five hundred acres, has a handsome residence and numerous well-kept buildings.
