In 1837 he married Catharine Frazer, and by her had two sons. Having the misfortune to lose her by death, he, in 1847, marri- ed Mary Frazer, and by her bad three daughters, Leaving Nova Scotia in 18504 he settled on and cleared lot 27, 2nd concessionof Stanley, where he remain- ed till his decease. He was a quiet, peaceable man, civil and obliging, a consistent member of the Pree by terian church, and in politics a Reformer.
