In 1846 he settled in Patterson, St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. Here he rapidly regained his health and soon succeeded in getting a large practice and many warm-hearted friends. In 1851 he was elected to the State Legislature, serving two terms. In January 1854 he located in Baton Rouge, the state capital, where he remained until his death.
