        For much of his career he lived in New York, where he as Alderman from 1696 to 1698 and as a representative of New York County in the Colonial Assembly from 1699 to 1701. He served against French, 1692, under Capt. J.Jansen, and was Captain in Foot Company of N.Y. Militia, 1700. Later he acquired the title "Colonel". In 1707 Along with his brother-in-law Major Johannes Hardenbergh he was copurchaser of a large tract of land known later as the "Hardenbergh Patent". He purchased land in Poughkeepsie in 1710, and apparently removed there before 1714 when he appears in the census. In Dutchess County, he served as a judge and treasurer.
