Here they lived till the year 1854 when they moved to lot 28, con. 6, Howick Twp.,Huron County, where he continued to live up to the time of his demise. As the country was then a wilderness, the sound of his axe was often heard in trying to clear up the farm and do his part as one of the pioneers who made this country what it is to -day. On October 12, 1876 he was married to Miss Angelina Weir, who predeceased him eight years ago. They were blessed with six children who remain to mourn his loss, viz: -(Annie), Mrs. Geo. A.
