Moved with the seat of Government to Kingston. 1841; and to Montreal, 1846, where he helped at great personal risk to save the painting of the Queen, but lost valuable private documents and family records during the incendiary burning of the Parliamentary buildings in 1849 (after the passage of the "Rebellion Losses Bill" ). He was subsequently stationed alternately at Toronto and Quebec, until the Government was permanently established at Ottawa, where, after forty years of service, he died. Of commanding appearance, and possessing a high sense of duty, he was one of the most esteemed men in the service. For many years he was Accountant of the House of Commons; and when vacant, the office of Clerk of the House was tendered him, but his advanced age compelled him to refuse it. He married Margaret, daughter of William Marshall of Toronto. Issue :
