Occupying a lot at Grimross the first ten years following his arrival he lost official possesson when the surveyor decided to grant it to himself. Promised the adjacent lot, he soon discovered it encroached on his neighbor. As beneficiary to an estate, he inherited 400 acres 'where two French men now live and by Mr. Israel Perley and Benjamin Atherton's intrigues and ill conduct have persuaded the French men that the land was none of my property and that I cannot do anything about the land without going to the law is disagreeable. (PANB RG 10, RS 108 1785) In September of 1785 he was granted a lot on Grimross Neck but soon found that he was unable to raise bread for his family by reason of the early and late frost in the spring and fall and likewise frequent fogs (1789) and as he had a numerous family of children and was reduced very low in the world, could not possibly remove at any distance.
