While in Hartford, Connecticut, 1827-28, he helped edit <em>The Watchman</em>, and contributed many of his poems to it. He took Holy Orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1829. He then became rector of Christ Church, Boston (1829); St. Peter&#8217;s, Auburn, New York (1840); and Church of the Advent, Boston (1844). His <em>Memoir</em> was written by his father, of New Haven, Connecticut; his <em>Poems</em>, collected by his father, were edited, with a short memoir, by Dr. (later Bishop) Coxe, and published in Boston in 1860.</p>
