In the spring of 1839 he entered the farm upon which he at present resides [1880], together with other land embracing 280 acres. He married 21 Feb 1841 to Nancy M. Hart who was born in NY 17 Aug 1823. As an infant she had come to New Haven Twp from Monroe Co NY. Her father died in 1867, having survived his wife nearly 40 yrs.
