He was born in Richmond, Virginia, where he and his brother, Stephen, were orphaned at an early age and brought to Boston with their adoptive family. He went into business with his brother and Henry Lee, managing the international shipping business Bullard & Lee (later Bullard, Lee, & Co.) at India Wharf, Boston.
