During 1777 and 1778 he served with his brothers Charles and John in Col. John Topham's regiment in Rhode Island. Soon after he removed with all his brothers and sisters to Berlin, Rensselaer Co., N. Y. There he served during 1780 and 1781 with his four brothers, in the company of Capt. Samuel Shaw, 6th Albany Regt., commanded by Lieut.-Col. Henry K. Van Rensselaer. How long he lived here is not known, but he removed to Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y. (perhaps for a time to Adams, Jefferson Co.), and while there served as captain during the War of 1812, in which three of his sons, at least, took part.

About 1816 he accompanied his children to Alfred, Allegany Co., N. Y. (the oldest, Luke, had preceded them), and took up a farm in the eastern part of the town. Here the rest of their lives was spent.

He was a man vigorous in mind and in body; he was the firstjudge of Madison County, and in his later years was known as"Judge Edward." A veteran of two wars, his autograph, writtenat the age of 84, is bold and firm.
