Began writing when a student in Athens, Pa., Academy, and published first song, Open Thy Lattice, in 1842. Educated at Jefferson College; lived at Pittsburgh. Wrote 175 songs; best known ones those listed below. His songs, called folk-songs of America, are known in every land, and sung in many languages. Were probably not derived from negro tunes, as has been stated, but negro dialect was doubtless used because of the vogue of negro minstrels in the 40's and 50's. Was a Bohemian in tastes and quite talented ; painted some, loved good music, spoke German and French. Died in New York, 1864.
