He was a soldier in the American Army in the War of 1812, belonging to it when Buffalo was burned. While walking on the banks of Lake Erie in the woods, he saw a boat load of Englishmen coming across the water. At the same time he had just met a neighbor, Mr. Sallsburg. One of them had balls and no powder and the other had powder, but not balls. While they were talking a redcoat came up the bank. Mr. Sallsburg fired. the fellow ran back and it was supposed told that the woods were full of men for they fled leaving a number of guns on the beach." (Eric Co. History)

He served his country in the War of 1812; was at home on a furlough at the time Buffalo was burned, and during the war his father's house and premises were plundered by the British of nearly all their movable possessions.
