He was especially skilful in the man- agement and government of schools, and many anecdotes are toll of his success where other teachers had failed. He held offices in the militia to the rank of captain, and was for many years a justice of the peace. Ile served six years as one of the seleetmen of Wilton, one year as town clerk and four years as representative to the Legislature.

His only surviving child, Mrs. Sylvia S. Ferguson of Brooklyn, N. Y., writes as follows of her father : " In person he was tall and commanding. his countenance strongly indicating talent and executive power. In manners he combined a judge-like gravity with politeness and aflability of deportment. His strong intellect was early stimulated into active exercise by high aspirations. Self-culture and mental training, which a want of educational helps imposed, fitted him to aet well his part in those publie stations he was called to fill. The office of justice of the peace he held and in it transacted much business. His papers were characterized by good penmanship, minute accuracy and business-like execution. As a citizen and a man he always stood in his lot, meeting the wants of society with a liberal spirit and a generous hand." He m .. June 7. 1807. Hannah, dan. of Maj.
