Around 1840, he married Eliza Williams (Holt) Higgins (c. 1805–1858), and they had two children.
He was a Whig member of the New York State Senate (4th D.) from 1840 to 1843, sitting in the 63rd, 64th, 65th and 66th New York State Legislatures.
In November 1867, he was elected a special surrogate of Chautauqua County.
