He received a good English education, and was brought up in the iron business. Upon the death of his father be became the owner of New Market forge, but, being elected sheriff of the county of Dauphin, commissioned October 17, 1797, like the vast majority who have followed him in that office, he became financially shipwrecked. In 1801 he was elected State Senator, serving until 1804, when he positively declined further continuance in office.

He remained in that city until about the commencement of the late war with England, when he removed to Baltimore, and had there established a successful business as a merchant, when he suddenly died, at the age of forty-three.
