Biography

He was a Tanner and Shoemaker. At some point between 1830 & 1840 he went to Tunkhannock, PA where, in partnership with Albert Newell, he established a tannery, which after a few years they sold out and went into the lumber business at Rummerfield Creek, PA, where he married Wealthy Gordon. In 1839 at the request of his father, he returned to the old homestead in Cincinnatus, NY where he conducted a large dairy business until 1849, when finding the climate uncongenial there, he sold the farm and in 1850 moved to Ulster, PA and bought a half interest in a lumber business consisting of 2 tracks of land, 2 mills and a store. 1 of the Mills and the store was at Burlington, PA, about 8 miles from Ulster PA.
