Military officer; born in Ohio, about 1815; was graduated at West Point in 1836, and served with distinction in the war with Mexico.

He was stationed at St. Louis, where his services were of great value during the war. At its close he was made assistant quartermaster-general (1866), and afterwards chief-quartermaster of the division of the Pacific. He died in Switzerland, Aug. 6, 1886.
