He preached as a missionary in Maine before coming to Heath, and went back to Connecticut after a ministry here of 13 years, during which there were several revivals. A grandson has described him as "tender-hearted, conscientious, and devoted to his work." "He was poor, little most clergymen, and devoted to his work." "He was poor, like most clergymen, and worked quite a large farm, and that, too, generally by himself without help, in order to support his large family of nine children; laboring on the farm day by day, and writing his sermons by night. He was particularly apt, tender, and pathetic at funerals, and was therefore sent for on such occasions from far and near. He was also at all times remarkably interesting in prayer." His son, Professor Theodore Strong, said of him, "He loved to preach the gospel, and the aim of his life was to glorify God in all things; yet he was so modest that he seldom spoke of himself, so that an estimate of his character was to be formed from what he did, rather than from his profession." But for some reason the people became dissatisfied with him and "invited him to leave," which he did, driving his cattle before him, his wife and daughter riding one horse, and his children and goods following in a wagon.
