He settled in Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania, in the year of 1800, and was admitted to the Bar of Centre County, at the November term of court, 1800. He was retained in the famous slander suit of McKee vs. Gallagher, August term, 1801, in which there were fourteen lawyers for the plaintiff, and twenty-two for the defendant. In 1810 he was appointed postmaster and continued in office until 1819. In 1810 he engaged in mercantile pursuits with his half-brother, William C. Stewart, and in 1819 entered into partnership with John Lyon in the manufacture of iron; residence at Coleraine Forges, Huntingdon County. In 1828 he and Lyon sold Coleraine Forges to Joseph and James Barnett and Anthony Shorb. He moved to Pittsburgh in 1823, and built the Sligo Rolling Mill. He represented Allegheny County in the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1831-1832. Disposing of his interests in the iron business, he went to manufacturing salt in the Kiskiminetas. He was a man of genial disposition and social habits, and of great practical humor. In person he was above the ordinary size, and of very dark complexion, which he inherited from his grandmother Stewart.
