On April 22, 1835, he was issued a grant of one league at the mouth of Cedar Creek in the original Bastrop County. He was a member of the Mina committee of safety and correspondence and was elected to represent Mina (Bastrop) in the Consultation^qv of 1835 but is not recorded in the Consultation records as being present.
