    He was not educated as his brothers were, but very energetic and successful
in accumulating property. He was careful about titles to his lands. There was
was a home lot assigned to him, as other original settlers. He was often
designated as a planter. He and his brother, Joseph, were the first to obtain
grants of land outside of town, and his accumulations seem to have been
extensive.

    He was thrifty and distributed property among his children located in Morris
Co, New Jersey, near the locality known as "Bottle Hill," which is now Madison.
