He was brought up in the Established Church, converted in his youth, and joined the Methodists to exercise his gift for preaching.

He was some years treasurer of the Children's Fund, became a supernumerary in 1868, and removed to England. He was for fifty years a diligent student of the Bible in the original languages. He was a happy, pious, and useful minister, and died near Manchester, October 11, 1878. See Minutes of the British Conference, 1879, page 43.
