Soon after reaching his majority, he married, in 1823, Miss Harriet F. Waggener, daughter of Major Thomas Waggener, resident of Christian County, Kentucky.  ALthough reared to a farm life, about the time of his marriage he entered upon a mercantile business, establishing himself in a general merchandise store in Stanford, Lincoln County, Kentucky.  Although reared to a farm life, about the time of his marriage he entered upon a mercantile business, establishing himself in a general merchandise store in Stanford, Lincoln county, Kentucky.  This business he conducted for several years before removing to Boone County (now Gallatin County), of the same State, where he returned to the work of his youth, farming.  there he remained until 1833, when he again changed his residence, this time locating in Hancock County, Illinois, and continuing his agricultural work  Four years later he again made a change, going to the State of Missouri and engaging in farming and stockraising in Platte County. There he conducted a profitable business, an made his home for thirteen years.  The gold excitement of 1849 and 1850 filled him with a desire to visit California, and in the latter year he crossed the plains .  Arriving in the autumn, he went to  the mines and there spent one year.  In the year following his coming to this State he came to Santa Clara County and established himself as one of  the pioneer farmers of 1851. The lands which he acquired contained 163 acres, and were situated on the Saratoga and Alviso road, about two miles north of Lawrence.  There he lived an honored, useful life until his death, which occurred February 17, 1877.  These lands are now (in 1888) owned by William D.
