As a resident of Gorham, he was a delegate to the 1819 Maine Constitutional Convention. After moving to Portland, he was elected to the Maine House of Representatives, where he was one of three who represented Portland in the 4th Legislature (1824).[1] He died in 1850 in Providence, Rhode Island and is buried in Portland's Western Cemetery.[2]
