influence and activity, of good, sound, moral character, and well
read in the sacred Scriptures, and in sentiment a thorough Old School
Presbyterian or Covenanter, but never made a public profession. He
was fond of company, and always took pains to make pleasant visits
for his friends when they called on him.
