He was of an open generous disposition, and useful and active in the support of the discipline and good order of the church, an Elder well respected and exemplary in his life and conversation." In Gwynedd he was a "yeoman"; he bought, 1718, land, 307 acres, of Hugh Pugh, son of Evan ap Hugh, and sold it, 1732, to Robert John.
