At the age of nine years he moved with his father to Missouri, and resided in Clay and Platte counties about four years.

In the autumn of 1860, after various changes of residence, he became a resident of this county and has since remained here. He was married November 26, 1857, to Miss Ann E. Smith. They are the parents of thirteen children, eleven of whom are now living: Martin K., Oliver P., Rosezella, William A., Minnie O., Nellie, James H., Charles S., Mina I., David C., and Frank.
