One of the members of the first colony that arrived at Columbia, November 18, 1788 (Hamilton Co., OH). He was appointed Deacon of the Duck Creek Baptist Church

The church was named the Duck Creek Baptist Church after Duck Creek, which flows at the base of the hill on which it is built, and where the members were baptized on their admission into the church. (The name of the church is now called the Hyde Park Baptist Church.)

Unfortunately the cemetery was completely destroyed due to highway construction work; interstate 71 opened in Dec 1966 (per Cincinnati Public Library)
