He came to Iowa in 1841, having stopped one year in Missouri, and located in Lee county, where he remained two years. In 1842 he removed to Davis county, where he remained ten years, when he came to Guthrie county in 1852. In the fall of 1853 he moved back to Davis county, where his wife died in the fall of the same year. The following spring he started to California with a large train. On his arrival there he located in Eldorado county, near the Mud Springs, where he staid [sic] three years, and then went to Mendocino county. Most of his time was spent in hunting, as game was very plentiful. On August 1, 1882, he returned to Guthrie county, and once more settled down.
