He was engaged in building operations, was one of the contractors at the time of the erection of the first state house of Indianapolis and also erected the first bridge over the river. In 1837 he removed with his family to Bond county, Illinois, where he purchased thirteen hundred acres of land, and in connection with farming and stock-raising he continued contracting and building. He followed farming successfully for a number of years and became well known and influential in his community. In 1838 he was called upon to mourn the loss of his first wife Nancy Bunton Leaverton, by whom he had seven children. In 1830 he married Miss Farrar and unto them several children were born. Leaving Illinois, he went to Leavenworth, Kansas, and became one of the incorporators of that city. He lived there at the time of the border warfare and his residence was frequently the place of rendezvous of Jim Lane, John Brown, and other leaders of the Abolition movement. At a later date he became a resident of Oskaloosa, Kansas, where he died. Excerpt from the biography of his son Wilson in: Past and Present of the City of Springfield & Sangamon County, Illinois; by Joseph Wallace; S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., Chicago, IL, 1904.
