Lenawee County Probate Judges 1885
Before coming to Michigan he had for some years held the office of county judge of Wayne county, New York, thus acquiring a judicial experience, admirably fitting him for judge of the probate court in a new county where he had few precedents to guide him. He came to Michigan in 1832, settling in Palmyra, which then had the promise of becoming the future great city of the county. He held various offices of trust and honor—prosecuting attorney, judge of probate, member of the Constitutional Convention of 1850, and of the State Legislature in 1855.
