On June 2, 1816, he married Sarah Augusta Smith (1794–1877), daughter of U.S. Senator John Smith (1752–1816), and they had eleven children.

He was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co.) in 1816–17. He was a delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention of 1821.

He was a presidential elector in 1840, voting for William Henry Harrison and John Tyler.
