"In 1843 he came to Wisconsin, and spent the next year or two teaching near Platteville. He then 'entered' 160 acres of government land in Mifflin township, which he cultivated and improved for about thirty years, meantime adding to his land until he has acquired 520 acres in all, which he still owns."
