Perhaps he just wanted a simpler life and found peace in the building business, turning his back on what was coming to him - just a theory of course. I've found his will dated 1834 (the year he died) but I can't make head or tail of it, as particularly ancient cursive is not a strength of mine. (Should be the first will on the image in the link).
