He married and they began life on the home farm where they passed the rest of their days. He was a successful farmer, which occupation he followed as long as he lived. He was a great reader, and kept himself informed in most of the leading topics of the day. Politically he was a Democrat; in religious faith he was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church; he was one of the charter members of the Bethel C. P. Church. On February 2, 1840, he was ordained ruling elder of the above-named church, and from his ordination until his death he was clerk of the Session - a period of some forty-five years.
