Owing to convulsive fits, he was exempt from all military duty during the war of 1812, although he was 26 years of age when war was declared. His father was a native of Holland, and came with his two brothers to Amerca at an early date. Their ancestors were very wealthy citizens of Holland, and owned seventeen acres in the heart of the Hague, one of its principal cities.
