His first labors were as a missionary in the regions bordering on Lake Erie. In June, 1800, he was ordained and installed pastor of the united congregations of Cross Roads and Three Springs.

In 1823 he went on a mission to Maumee, and on his return was obliged, from ill health, to resign his charge of the church of Three Springs, and to confine himself to that of Cross Roads.
