In 1780, he became a Major in a corps of light infantry, and served in Virginia and Carolina. While on his way from Charlestown to Chesapeake with dispatches from Lord Rawdon, he was captured by the French fleet but was soon exchanged and rejoined his regiment, with which he remained until it was disbanded in 1783. In the fall of that year he took his family to Nova Scotia and engaged in farming at Wilmot. In 1789 he commenced the practice of law at Annapolis Royal and was soon elected to the Provincial Assembly. For several years he was speaker of the Assembly. In 1792, he was made Lieut.-Colonel of the Royal Nova Scotia Regiment, and in 1793 was made Adjutant General of the Militia of the Province. In 1796 he was appointed commissioner for the British under Jay's treaty, and in 1799 was made British Consul General for the Eastern United States of America, resident at New York.
