After the American Revolution he came to the Niagara Peninsula and was granted land in 1790 on 30 mile creek in Clinton twp. Lincoln county, where he built a mill. About the same time he was also granted land in Grimsby Gore, Grimsby, Lincoln County. In 1791 he was a member of the Grimsby Twp. Council, and served as one of two overseers of roads.
