After moving to Green Bay, Michigan Territory, in 1835,〔 he worked for the government as a surveyor and civil engineer. While in Green Bay, Edgerton was chosen to the seventh Michigan Territorial Legislative Council (the Rump Council) in 1835 involving the western area of the Michigan Territory (present day Wisconsin and parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota) to provide for a smooth transition involving the establishment of Wisconsin Territory and the admission of the State of Michigan.

He served on the first harbor commission in Milwaukee and on the Milwaukee Common Council. He died at his home in Chicago, Illinois on December 9, 1886.〔 His brother was Elisha W. Edgerton, a businessman and state legislator.〔(Benjamin Hyde Edgerton, Wisconsin Historical Society )〕〔'Proceedings of the Society of the Wisconsin Historical Society at its Sixth-eight Annual Meeting,' October 21, 1920, vol. 68, Rump Council, Biographical Sketch of Benjamin Hyde Edgerton, pg. 155〕
