His district included the counties of Scott, Clinton, Jackson, Jones, Cedar, Johnson, a part of Muscatine, Linn and Benton, and west to the Missouri river.

He preached at LeClaire, Long Grove, Allen's Grove, Simpson's, Big Rock, Green's School-house, Walnut Grove, Marion, Dry Creek, Pleasant Grove, Burlison's, Maquoketa and Posten's Grove, as well as at numerous school-houses scattered over a large district of the country.
He did excellent work in preaching the word.

He was not a revivalist, nor was his co-laborer, yet there were a goodly number added to the Lord during the year.

I think not less than one hundred.

The next year, 1852, the annual meeting of the co-operation was held at Dewitt, Clinton Co.
At that meeting the district was divided into East and West No.2.
