After a few years he went to New York City and opened his own business, but lost almost all his savings. About 1846, he removed to a farm in Columbia County. He was a Justice of the Peace from 1849 to 1852. He removed in 1857 to a farm in Dutchess County; and in 1861 to the county seat Poughkeepsie. He married Fanny L. Card (died 1877), and they had five children.
He was buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Pine Plains.
