After marriage he settled in Newport, RI, and built a house there which was burned by the British in the Revolutionary War. At that time he removed to Pawtucket. His son was born in Newport and possibly his daughters. Later he removed to Norwich, CT, and built on top of Geer Hill a windmill, which he patented.

We have the following quaint record regarding him: "The minister would require attendance upon his church - the Rev. took a poor man cow for the church rates - the Rev. asked Uzziel why he came not to church and he told him that a Rev. who could take a cow that way - would not hear him preach - the Rev. said 'I must say thou art a heathen.' Uzziel replied 'I must say thou art one damned liar." So, to escape imprisonment, he went to North Caroline; came back a strong Abolitionist and never would use anything raised by slave labor. This event was before his marriage.

In a letter written at Elyria, 15 APR 1879, Mrs. Anna N. Finn, a great granddaughter says:
"At the time her father was killed she (Jane) was a child 8 years old and I can well remember the account she used to give of her poor mother's flight with her seven young children to the hills or mountains near Wyoming Valley. So sudden was the surprise and attack of the Indians in the valley that the husband went to the front door to see what caused the alarm and it is supposed was almost instantly killed as he never returned to the house. The widowed mother and her children were concealed for many days in the woods. Her home and contents were burned by the savages and nothing was saved except the clothing they wore. After a time, with some of her children, the mother found her way to Poughkeepsie. She received a kind welcome from friends on the Hudson River and her surviving daughters married well."
They resided Brooklyn, PA.

He was killed in the Wyoming Massacre.
