He was graduated at Rutgers in 1831, and at New Brunswick theological seminary in 1834, and in 1837 sailed for Singapore as a missionary of the Dutch Reformed church. He remained there till 1839, was then in Batavia, Java, till 1841, and afterward in Karangan, Borneo, till 1846, when feeble health forced him to leave his post.
