He is called a "Clothier" in a 1713 deed in Newark, New Jersey and was back in Elizabethtown, New Jersey by 1726, when a deed identifies him living near "Bond Green" at the time. He died at Elizabethtown, New Jersey, Nov. 18, 1737, and was originally buried in the "Old Burying Ground," in Newark, New Jersey. In 1890 his remains were removed to Newarak's Fairmont Cemetery and placed in a crypt marked by a statue honoring the cities founders.
