After inheriting his father’s fortune and plantations (slaves and all), he purchased the Piercefield estate — now the site of Chepstow Racecourse — and lived the life of a respected country gentleman.
Ar ôl etifeddu ffortiwn a phlanhigfeydd ei dad (caethweision a phopeth arall), prynodd stad Piercefield - safle Cae Ras Cas-gwent erbyn hyn- ac roedd yn byw bywyd gŵr bonheddig uchel ei barch.
