But he survived all this hardship, reared his family, cleared two farms, on one of which , known as the Mile End Farm, a fine tract, he lives with his son James. Though 83 years of age, he is still very active and ambitious. So great is his desire for work, that he insists on taking care of the stock, and threshing grain, daily, with a flail for over a dozen head of cattle. he was one of the loyal actors in the Rebellion of 1837; he is Master of the Orange Lodge, a position he has held over fourty years. his children - three sons and two daughters - are all living.
