Shortly after his arrival in the then Territory of Mich he was commissioned by the US government to open two roads through the dense wilderness which then surrounded Detroit and performed his duties to the entire satisfaction of all parties interested. These roads are now the great thorough fares known as "Chicago" and "Gratiot" roads.

He was a warm friend and supporter of Andrew Jackson, and also of Steven T. Mason, first governor of the State, and was a prominent leader in the first gubernatorial canvass of Mich. In 1840 he was elected sheriff of the County of Wayne, to which office he was re-elected in 1842, holding that position for 4 years after which he removed to Dearborn, living there in comparative retirement, but frequently visiting his children in this city. He was always happy to meet his old friends and acquaintances and talk over he occurrences of years gone by. During the last war he entered the army as a volunteer and, with the Company to which he belonged, was stationed at different points along the Canadian frontier, being an active participant in the excitement of those days. At the time of his death he was a member of the petit jury of the Circuit Court and his last illness commenced while on duty as a juryman. The best medical aid was summoned to his relief, but he gradually passed beyond all human agencies, and on the morning of the 10th day of his illness calmly breathed his last.-- Conn.
