Biography
During his childhood he spent much time with Rev. Mr Fiske of Wilton NH in preparation for college but a change in his father's circumstances forced those plans to be abandoned. He then went to apprentice with Mr Farley, a tanner in Hollis NH. Later he engaged in business with Jeremiah Prichard in New Ipswich, NH.

In 1800 he removed to Wilton NH where he followed his trade in connectoin with farming.
