• Notes

  "He was a farmer. He owned over a hundred acres in the east part of the present town of Belmont. He built a house and two large barns which later were destroyed by fire. He raised a large amount of fruit, making a specialty of peaches for the Boston market. He traded in cattle, dealing with the Brighton market. His son Amos was associated with him in that business. He was a man of large physique, of happy disposition, with a keen sense of humor; also a man of strong temperance principles. He attended the Unitarian church, and was a Whig in politics. He served in the War of 1812, being on duty in Boston harbor."
