He was a farmer in Southborough, his lands being in the northern part of the town. He seems to have obtained them by purchase at various times from different people, as the deeds show. The property remained in the possession of his descendants until 1896, when it was purchased by the Boston Water Board, to become a part of its great reservoir.

Before his death he executed a deed giving all of his real estate to his son Caleb; but the deed was not registered until after his death.
