In 1826 he moved to Pascoag, R.I., and united with the Free Baptist church. In 1831, he began to preach, and by request of the church he was ordained in 1834.

He organized a church in Sutton, Mass., and a house of worship was built. Continued prosperity attended his labors. After twenty years the infirmities of age compelled him to cease in a measure, from the work."
