He was ordained July 1, 1845, and became pastor of the Presbyterian Church of New Windsor, N.Y. His pastorate of three years in that Church (1845-48), and another of equal length in the Reformed Dutch Church at Clintonville, N.J. (1849-52), were his only terms of continuous ministry. For the last twenty-nine or thirty years of his life he resided in Irvington, N.J., where he led a quiet and scholarly life. He died at Clayton, in February 1881. See Presbyterian, February 12, 1881.
