He appears in the 1900 Middleborough city directory as a lumber manufacturer at 74 Centre St. His mother died at his birth. He was still living with his parents in Taunton in the 1850 Census. He was listed as a manufacturer. In the 1880 Census, he, 59, is listed with Polly A. Leonard, 53. There are no children listed.

I can find no evidence that they had any of these children nor that the children ever existed.
