He was converted at a Methodist camp-meeting before coming to Ohio, formed a number of classes in the West, one in Crawford Co., Pa., and two in Trumbull Co., Ohio. These classes were formed befoe there was any Ecclesiastical body established.
On arriving in Ohio with his family in 1811, he commenced preaching in his own and neighbors' houses and barns as opportunity occured. "About this time a mail-road was established on the state road and J.W. Brown was appointed in his stead, his commission bearing date of 1812. He served as postmaster about 30 years, his family being the first pioneer settlers in Williamsfield, Ohio.
He was chosen Elder of the M. E. Church on the 13th day of August, 1826 by Abijah Hedding, Bishop, and the Elders present, at camp-meeting. Mercer Circuit."----Family Records
