1796, and came to this town in 1818, and acted for several years as a teacher in the schools of this village; in 1821 he was married to Abbie, daughter of Thomas Sayre; in 1825 he was elected to the office of Town Clerk, which office he held for a period of twenty years; in 1833 he was elected Justice of the Peace and continued to serve in that capacity and Supervisor for the remainder of his life. As a member of the community he was held in the greatest respect by his fellow citizens, and was faithful to the fullest extent in the performance of the duties of the offices intrusted to his charge ; as a friend and neighbor he was affable and kind ; pleasant and open in manners and wholly without the lofty reserve and mock dignity which generally accompanies real inferiority. And this notice is entered by one who having been treated by him with kindness has reason to revere his memory, and no better proof of his excellence and capacity need be produced than the fact that for a period of forty years he enjoyed the complete confidence of the people of the town of Southampton.
