He enlisted in the army of the Revolution, and fought with distinguished bravery in the battle at Ticonderoga. He en- joyed the entire confidence of his fellow-townsmen, and was honored with the highest offices in their gift; the duties of which he dis- charged with ability, and an eye to the public good. He was a member of the Congregational Church, and a regular attendant upon the ordinances of the gospel, until the close of his active and useful life."
