In 1834 he followed the course of Western emigration, settling in Des Moines County, Iowa, entering a claim in Yellow Springs Township, which he later purchased at the Burlington land sale.

His wife survived him for about two years, dying Nov 29, 1876. Our subject grew to manhood upon a farm, and received his education in the district schools of the state.

After the cessation of hostilities, he returned to Louisa County, where, during his term of service, he had purchased a farm of 230 acres.
