He was a stone or brick mason. He appeared many times in the court records of Mecklenburg County usually for jury duty, but also once to have an apprentice bound to him to "learn the secrets of the stone mason's trade". He was also called upon as a kind of deputy sheriff, and was once asked to head a committee to assess and repair the county jail. He owned 200 acres on the east side of the Catawba at Tuckaseegee Ford.121
