    He was appointed an Ensign in the Rhode Island militia on 13 Sept 1790.

    On 10 September 1798 he was appointed administrator for the estate of his deceased son Robert, a mariner, who I assume died at sea at about age 22.

    In 1799 he was appointed as Collector of Taxes for Washington County, Rhode Island, by Gov. Fenner.

    In 1802, he moved to Tyringham, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, to join his son Thomas who was already there.  His other sons William and Oliver may have also preceded him to Tyringham.
