From the journal of his daughter, Catherine:

He was called into the work of the ministry in about the eighteenth year of his age; and when young, travelled much in the service of Truth in divers parts of this nation, Ireland and Scotland, as also the American colonies. His ministry was lively and clear; and his care not to exceed the openings of Truth therein, apparent. His deportment was grave, his conduct clean and steady, and his charity, in proportion to his circumstances, diffusive. He was an affectionate husband, a tender father and kind master; serviceable amongst his neighbours, and beloved and respected by them. He died in the year 1746, aged nearly 75 years.
