He was a shipowner and commander of his own ship in the forein trade. He befriended the Rev Robert STITHE Rector of Liverpool and together they formed the Blue coat School and Hospital.
They solicited subscriptions from the Mayor and respectable members of Liverpool raising yearly subscriptions of between £60 and £70. A little school house was built costing £35 and a Master was appointed with a yearly income of £20. 50 children were taken in and were clothed and given learning.
