For a short time he followed his trade at Cleveland, Ohio, and about 1850 came to Jackson County, West Virginia, where he bought a farm and followed agriculture as his main occupation the rest of his days. He died near Ripley in 1890. In later years he voted the republican ticket and though reared a Presbyterian, in the absence of a church of that denomination in Jackson County he worshipped with the United Brethren people. His first wife Miss Cameron was born in County Antrim and her two children were born in New York state. She died in Cleveland. Her children were: James; and Isabelle who died in Jackson County, wife of Andrew Hamilton Boone, who served as a Union soldier the last two years of the Civil war and is now a retired farmer in Mason County, West Virginia.
