He was indulgent to his children and when one day his daughter (Olivia) expressed a liking for a certain piece of goods which she thought was too dear for her to purchase, he bought her a dress from it, although it was English calico and one dollar a yard. He was justice of the peace, appointed Apr 16, 1790, a deacon of the church, and a dentist; at least he was in the habit of pulling teeth and usually carried instruments for that purpose in his pocket. Afflicted people sometimes met him at the meeting house, sat down on the steps and had the decayed member removed right there. It was an act of mercy, and quite proper for the Sabbath.
