He married Mary Ann Maxwell December 14, 1843, in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and fathered Joseph (b. @1845), Catherine (b. @1846), Mary Ann (b. 07/14/47), Louisa (b. 11/22/49 - married Henry H. Eckman), Sarah Lucinda (b. 10/18/51), John Steele (b. 08/03/53), Albert Reynolds (b. 02/16/55), Elmira Ann (b. 02/01/57), Anaias A. (b. 11/03/58 - death certificate claims a March birth), and David N. (b. 05/10/61, d. 01/??/64). In 1860, he was a distiller and blacksmith living with his family in East Lampeter Township, Lancaster County, and stood 6' 1" tall with light hair and blue eyes.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Strasburg, Lancaster County, August 5, 1862, and mustered into federal service at Lancaster August 11 as a private with Co. G, 122nd Pennsylvania Infantry. By the end of 1862, he was suffering with dysentery (termed "chronic diarrhea") that did not abate. On April 8, 1863, he received a twenty-day furlough home to recover, but his health deteriorated and he died at his home from the disease. The company register only lists him as absent at muster-out because at the time, no one knew he had died.
