After that, he made plans to move to Canada and arrived in Humberstone township, in the county of Welland, where he lived on the Lake Shore near Fort Erie and resumed his teaching career. He was very successful. About 1815, he moved to the town of Walpole, about 40 miles away and purchased a 200 acre farm. He is known to profess a deep hatred of Americans, who "had oppressed and persecuted him and his kindred."
