The deceased was born at Gilbertsville, Otsego county, New York, May 5, 1810. He was educated in the academy in his native town.

At the age of nineteen he bought his time of his father and started west, arriving in Delaware county, Ohio, about Christmas 1830. In 1835, at Urbana, Ohio, he married to Miss Sarah CLABAUGH, a native of Pennsylvania. This exemplary companion died July 20, 1876. By this union there were nine children, two of whom survive his death--two sons. In 1837 he came to Carlyle. Two years later he bought land in Wade township, where he has since resided. He was one of the pioneers of Clinton county, and one of the original members of the Carlyle Presbyterian church...The court, in 1839, appointed him supervisor.
