He was chosen town clerk in 1848, and judge of probate in 1854, and held both positions by continued re-election until the year of his death. In 1856 he was a member of the Connecticut State Senate, and in 1870 of the Connecticut House of Representatives. He was long the principal magistrate in the town.
