Edit ProfileCareer
He represented Charlotte County in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1786 to 1819. In 1768 or 1769, he went to Falmouth Neck, Massachusetts (now Portland, Maine), where he became involved in the timber trade and ship building. In October 1775, his premises were destroyed by American forces who were reacting to rebel activity in the area.
The two brothers departed to the West Indies.
In 1783, learning that the border would be established further east, he relocated to Passamaquoddy Bay. He was named a justice of the peace for the area and was later named a judge of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas for the county.
The community there was named Saint Andrews in 1786. He assisted in research and surveys which helped establish the Saint Croix River as the international boundary with Maine.
He died in Street Andrews the following year at the age of 71.
