Soon after he got them a home in the north part of Lee county, a few miles south of Salem, in a good neighborhood of the Friends.
He made a loom that he thought would make him a fortune and sold out and went to Indiana where he thought he could sell them. He only made one loom and found out that it was a failure.

He worked at his trade or anything in the wood work line that was needed to be done and part of the time at gardening for the factory hands. He was a singular man, always contented with what he had and expecting something better in the near future and willing to help or divide with the needy. Agnes was a member of the Friends church and remained in the church all of her life, never worrying or complaining about the things of this life. Lewis Hillman, their son, was a successful preacher of the Wesleyan Methodist church, his labors causing many to commence a Christian life. Jane, I knew but little about and yet I know that she was faithful to a mother's duties and is honored for what she has done.
