The parents left that State for New York, and settled in Cortland County, where they died. The subject of this biography was born in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and was a year and a half old when his parents removed to New York. He lived at home until 20 years old, and then worked at carpentry for two years, and becoming acquainted with the use of tools he spent three years in learning the carpenter and joiner's trade in Otsego County, New York. He then relocated to Ingham County, Michigan, where he followed his trade for three years. In the spring of 1856, he moved to Isabella County and took up 160 acres of wild land in Coe Township, under the Graduation Act. He owned 120 acres, 80 of which were in good tillable condition.
