He served as a drafted militia-man, in the war of 1812. An obituary, in the Episcopal Recorder, says of her: "Thirty years of consistent Christian discipleship, abounding with fruits of faith and love, followed by a departure from the world, characterized by calm submission, meek trust in the Saviour, and without fear, afford to surviving friends well-grounded assurance for the belief that their loss is her eternal gain. The last six years of her life she was prostrate, and confined to the couch of sickness. Gently, patiently, trustfully, did she await the Divine will. Throughout her illness, she was surrounded by dutiful and affectionate children, who never wearied in their devotion to their stricken parent." They were communicants of Trinity Church, Episcopal, at Newtown.
