From Portrait & Biographical Sketches of Lenawee County, page 296: "born and reared near the town of Waterbury Conn., and in early manhood learned the trade of carpenter and joiner"
"Our subject was a youth of fifteen years when he came to Lenawee County, and after the ordinary course of study in the common schools began to lay his plans for the future, his intention being to have a farm of his own just as soon as possible. Upon reaching his majority he seat out on his own account and purchased 200 acres of land. This he sold not long afterward and purchased his father's old homestead, which he occupied six years, ad then sold it back to its original possessor. He subsequently became the employee of Judge Stacy, and in the meantime had been married, in 1844, to Miss Laura, daughter of Moses and Voletta Smith, of Tecumseh Township. The young people not long afterward removed to the farm of Mr. Smith, who was the proprietor of 200 acres of good land, and subsequently purchased the property."
