"Death has lost his sting, and the grave its victory."
He was a firm friend to the liberties of his country, and bore arms to repel the tyranny of Britain, and his Democratic Republican principles were in perfect accordance with the old Jefferson school. He was eighteen years a merchant of Morris County, N.
