Married Susan Bell, eldest daughter of John Bell, at Magdala, Ethiopia on 4 December 1859.[1] He was held prisoner by Ethiopian King Theodore and later released by General Napier's British troops at the siege of Magdala, Ethiopia in 1868. He went to Beirut with the British Syrian Mission (which was founded in 1860). He started the Friends' Syrian Mission in 1873, founded Brummana High School in 1873 and the Asfuriya Mental Hospital in 1894.
