He entered Yale College and was graduated with the degree of B.A. in 1845. For about eight months afterwards he taught in a private school in his home town, then studied law in his father's office. In 1846 he married Martha M.

He shortly afterwards returned to Connecticut and became editor of the Hartford Courant for one year.
