He served as Warden of The Company (1797-1799) and as a member of the Managing Committee (1800-1807, 1813, 1815-1817, 1819-1821). He may also have been a founder of the Columbia Fire Company (1796).

"(Philadelphia) Christ Church. Although outside the Park's boundaries, the church retains close ties to Independence. Twelve Company members participated in construction or renovation of either the first structure or the present magnificent landmark. In 1711, two members — William Coleman and James Portues, who arrived on the "Welcome" with William Penn — worked on an addition to the frame church which occupied the eastern portion of the present site. John and Joseph Thornhill plus John Nicholas were hired in 1741 to complete carpentry of the present church. Daniel and Robert Knight enlarged the organ loft in 1832 to accommodate the choir and orchestra."
