The family emigrated to Missouri in 1839, where his parents died; in 1842, he came to this State, locating at "Root Diggings," near Platteville; he followed mining for fourteen years, when he bought the farm upon which he now lives. He was married, in 1842, to Miss Cassinda Brown, who was a native of Kentucky. They have raised three children, all of whom are living in this State.
