In 1720, he moved to the New Britain area of Bucks County with Butler, who had already established himself in the area. In 1731, he bought 147 acres of land and built a home. His farmhouse still stands today and is the home of Nostalgia Weddings. He died in 1755 and his estate was bequeathed to his son Thomas. He fathered many children and his descendants are still in the area.〔The History of Bucks County (1905) by WIlliam W.H. Davis〕
