Born in Grainger County, Tennessee. During the War Between the States, he served in the Indiana Infantry. He came to Texas from Indiana in 1865 on a wagon train. He had extensive holdings in the area around Hurst, TX.
In June 23, 1879, he deeded six acres for a School (Red Sulphur Spring), a Church (Arwine), and a cemetery (Arwine). The cemetery site was selected by his young daughter, Katy Arwine because she thought the area was so beautiful. A few months later, Kathy became ill and died, becoming the first to be buried in Arwine Cemetery.

There are 1871 and 1872 pay voucher records in his name from the Texas State Police. He is also reputed to have been a US Marshall.
