He graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, and studied philosophy in the University of Edinburgh under Dugald Stewart. He was licensed 11 May 1806 by the Presbytery of Antrim (non-subscribing). The same year he received calls to Clonmel and Strand Street, Dublin (2 October); choosing the latter, he was ordained 25 December 1806 by Dublin Presbytery (non-subscribing) as colleague to John Moody,(b. 11 Dec. 1742, d. 15 July 1813), after whose death William Hamilton Drummond, became (25 Dec. 1815) his colleague. He was one of the founders of the Irish Unitarian Society (1830) and of the Association of Irish Nonsubscribing Presbyterians (1835), and he represented the latter body at the celebration of the tercentenary of the reformation at Geneva in August 1835.
