He served in the state house of representatives in 1868 representing Clarendon County along with William Nelson.[3] He supported Franklin J. Moses Jr. having his "disabilities" removed in 1868 after the American Civil War.[4] An 1873 report showed him receiving 350 votes for a state representative seat.[5]
