He then engaged in tilling the soil and continued at this until 1883 when he came to Adamsville and engaged extensively in the sale of dry goods and general merchandise. In 1867 he married Miss Mary A. HOWELL, who was born in Hardin County in 1847, and who is the daughter of Benjamin and Nancy HOWELL.

He is a Democrat in politics and he and wife are worthy members of the Christian Church. In 1861 he enlisted in Company G, Thirteenth Tennessee Infantry (Confederate Army) under Col.
