He settled near Pleasant Valley, Dutchess County, where he spent the remainder of his life, and died at an "advanced age". He was a member of the Society of Friends; by trade, a millwright. He and Ruth were the parents of nine children, eight of whom grew to manhood, or womanhood, married and reared families. Two of their sons, Robert and Henry were taken prisoners by the British early in the Revolutionary War, and as rebels, were confined on one of the British prison ships in New York Harbor, where one died from violence and privation. The other was rescued by relatives but died soon after.
