   "Our subject's father grew to manhood in Clinton, Oneida County, New York He there had but three months' schooling and was married when very young, his wedding being celebrated March 7, 1815, at the age of twenty-four, his wife and our subject's mother being sixteen. . . . He was the father of sixteen children, of whom fourteen grew to maturity, nine of whom became the heads of family, seven living to the present time. The father of the family died in Genesee County, May 19, 1878."
   
   "Our subject's father was naturally an agitator on the subejct of slavery and kept the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member, stirred up on the subject. Born and reared into the Catholic faith, after his parents' death he became a Presbyterian and was an ardent worker in that church. He was a captain of the Sixty-first Regiment of New York militia and our subject has his commission signed by Gov. DeWitt Clinton. He naturally was of a controversial disposition and found food for this in the church of which he was a member. He was honest, outspoken and fearless, and although he aroused discussion and opposition, he was generally liked. He served in the War of 1812 for a period of nine months."
