Subsequent to his first marriage, his father Henry gave him a farm containing two hundred and three acres, with all the appurtenances necessary for that occupation. This plantation was located near Sharpe Ridge in Mayberry Township, Montour County, Pennsylvania and was part of the tract that previously belonged to the Fisher estate, that his grandfather, Joseph Fisher, had purchased when he first located in Northumberland County, in 1788. He resided there about ten years. All the children by his first marriage were born at that place. In July, 1829, his first wife Catherine E. died, after an illness of three days, and, with her infant daughter, was interred in the old Blue Hill Presbyterian burial ground (no longer there), near Elysburg. Shortly after his second marriage he was obliged to dispose of his property to meet an obligation he had made in aiding a member of the family. From that place he removed to a farm in the same vicinity, where he resided until the spring of 1840, when he removed to the McKelvey farm near Bloomsburg in Columbia County, Pennsylvania where he remained until the spring of 1860. He subsequently purchased the Espy Island, a small plantation, upon which he removed in April, 1864. He died in nearby Scott Township while visiting daughters Catherine and Phoebe on 3 Oct 1866.
