He was a fellow of Trinity College from 1717 to 1727. He became a close friend of Jonathan Swift (his cousin Dorothea "Dolly" Stopford, widow of the fourth Earl of Meath, was one of Swift's closest friends). Swift admired his modesty and learning, and introduced him to other leading writers of the day like Alexander Pope. (en)
