He was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, married and three children were born to them there. After moving to Ohio he was engaged in farming, and he and his wife passed the rest of their days there. He was a school teacher for a time, in both Pennsylvania and Ohio, and a daughter kept in her possession some of the books he used. The arithmetic was written in a neat, legible hand, showing much care and proficiency. He was active in the cause of education, and in military matters he took much interest, rising to the rank of colonel. A total of ten children were born to him and his wife, nine of whom attained adult age, four of them being yet alive in 1893.
