On the eleventh of December, 1800, he married Penuel Grant, daughter of Peter Grant, and commenced a farmer's life in the Town Brook valley, where he resided several years, and then moved to Jefferson village, where he was in the mercantile business for a time, and in 1820 moved to the Westkill valley, into a log hut, and in six weeks time had a new framed house completed, and finished his labors on the nineteenth of August, 1842, at the age of 65 years.
