He was born January 26, 1822, in Brown County, Ohio, and was raised in Lewis Township, where his entire life has been devoted to farming.

In 1852, he buried his wife, at the age of twenty years, she leaving one infant daughter, viz., Almira.

His crops are wheat, corn and tobacco; of the latter he raises annually about four acres. His political affiliations have ever been with the Democratic party, which has intrusted to his honor and judgment the office of Township Assessor two terms, and Clark one.
