He was graduated at the United States military academy in 1832, assigned to the 2d artillery, and served at Charleston, South Carolina, during the nullification excitement in 1832-'3. He was adjutant from 1833 till 1834, and resigned on 1 April of the latter year. He then devoted himself to planting in Virginia and Mississippi, and was president of the Virginia state agricultural society from 1853 till 1856. He was made a brigadier-general in the Confederate service early in 1861, and commanded the 5th brigade at the first battle of Bull Run.
