In 1793 he purchased of Robert L. Hooper, of Trenton, N. J., a farm of 821 acres on the Susquehanna river, about one mile west of the present village of Vestal. In 1799. he built a gristmill on the batik of the river. While digging a ditch for the mill, it caved in upon his son, Lewis, crushing him to death. "
