He was estate agent for Sir Robert Williames Vaughan which brought him into public notice in the county, e.g. as commissioner for the militia and trustee under the Barmouth Harbour Act (37 Geo, III. cap. 50). From 1806 onwards he served, almost continuously, as commissioner under the aegis of parliamentary acts dealing successively with land enclosure in the counties of Anglesey, Caernarfon, Merioneth and Denbigh; he was named in two other parliamentary acts but he declined to act. He died 7 April 1819.
