Active in the affairs of the settlement he drew up its first code of civic regulations. He later became a justice of the peace, a territorial judge, and a member of the territorial legislature. In 1801, President Thomas Jefferson appointed him agent for both the Cherokee Nation and the War Department in Tennessee.
