His life in Norwich was interrupted by his appointment as United States District Attorney under President Jackson, which involved his residence in Hartford from 1829 to 1831. He then returned to Norwich, but in 1843 removed to Baltimore, and thence to New York City in 1845. At the end of his life he returned to Norwich, where he died on May 11, 1858, in his 60th year. His children were two daughters and two sons; of the latter, the elder died in infancy, and the younger was graduated Yale in 1855. —Franklin Bowditch Dexter, Biographical Notices of Graduates of Yale College (New Haven, Connecticut, 1913), pp. 70-71.
