He was a farmer and shoemaker, and in 1783 he settled in the northwest part of Ashby, but in 1794 he removed to New Ipswich, buying the farm south of the meeting-house since known as the "Willard farm," (VII : 3, S. R.,) where he continued to ply both occupations.

He was a farmer and shoemaker, and first settles in 1783, in the northwesterly part of Ashby, near his two older sisters. He bought a portion on the farm, since known as the Bedlow farm, under cultivation, and erected on it a dwelling-house and other buildings. This dwelling-house was burned in 1807. Suffering inconvenience from iys remoteness from public worship and other town privileges, he sold this estate in 1794, and bought another southerly of the present meeting-house in new Ipswich, N.H., now partly occupied by Mr. Willard. This farm was enlarged by subsequent purchases, additional buildings were erectd, and other improvements were made; but though it contained some good land, and yielded a comfortable subsistence to its owner, yet it was generally rocky and unproductive, and gave a comparatively poor return for the labor expended. The same amount of toil and good management would have produced on some farms a considerable fortune. He and his wife united with Rev. Mr. Farrar's church in New Ipswich in 1786, and he bore the character of an intelligent, industrious, honest, upright, Christian man, eminently a peacemaker in his family and amoung his neighbors. He was often known to enter his shop, and earn enough before retiring to rest to pay his hired man the next day; and to repeat this labor day after day. He was often solicited to take public office in town, but uniformed declined. Private life was more congenial to his unobtrusive, amiable, and ecellent temperament.
