He spent the remainder of his boyhood in Ireland and there received his early education from his mother. At seventeen he returned to America to equip himself to take care of his family's property in Virginia and entered William and Mary College.

In February, 1816, he was licensed Lay Reader by the Bishop of Virginia and in April of that year he was ordained Deacon. At Fredericks- burg, Virginia, in May, 1817. he entered the priesthood. The newly formed Diocese of North Carolina elected him its Iirst Bishop on May 22, 1823, and for seven years he labored to lay the foundations on which the work of the Episcopal -Church in North Carolina has been built.
