Sous les ordres de William Johnson, il devint lieutenant à l'Indian Department britannique en 1755 et partit pour Montréal en tant qu’agent adjoint chargé des Indiens du Canada en 1760. Il retourna dans la vallée de l'Hudson, puis s'enfuit au Canada en 1777 durant la Révolution américaine. Après la guerre, il aida les Indiens loyalistes de la ligue des Six-Nations à s'établir en Ontario, à la baie de Quinte. Il mourut par la suite en Grande-Bretagne, où il avait demandé d’être indemnisé des pertes subies pendant la Révolution. |
