He was a Quaker merchant in partnership with Thomas Ringgold and together they ran the largest slave trade operation in the Chesapeake Bay, importing thousands of slaves in to Maryland including one of the last shipments in the transatlantic slave trade. In 1756, he began building "Tulip Hill" (see images) on his newly acquired plantation originally called "Poplar Knowle."
