 | | He was educated and spent his early life in New England, where he invented in 1824 a counter-twister, spinning-speeder, and a throstle-frame. |
| | Later he settled in Ramapo, New York, and there in-vented his cap spinning frame, and also a bobbin and flyer. |
| | About 1830 he removed to Paterson, New Jersey, where he induced the firm of Godwin, Rogers & Co. to manufacture his spinners, and this led to a large business, which in time embraced other forms of machinery. |
