In 1793 he was elected to the office of vestryman in the Jamaican parish of St Elizabeth, a role he still held in 1805. By 1817 he had become an assistant judge and magistrate in the Jamaican parish of Manchester. He appears in the 1811 and 1812 Jamaica Almanac as proprietor of Biddeford, and in the 1816 edition as proprietor of Grant's Green in Vere.
