Down, Ireland, and came to Australia at the age of 24 years, settling in the Castlereagh district where he was married two years later to the daughter of Charles Purcell. He followed farming pursuits on the Kurrajong, and afterwards started in the carrying business from Blacktown to Mount Victoria and later on to Bathurst, with a team carrying general goods. A few years later the shale mines opened in the Hartley district and he moved there, and worked in the mines for some time.
