Yeah is bet this is it. Born in 1785 is the right time to easily still live off the inherited wealth of a founded city, and even more than now, law is a particularly favourable career for members of that class to retain their wealth and enter politics.

I'm going to assume the town was named after some ancestor of his that was central to the founding if the town.

And he inherited their wealth, which afforded him the education and financial stability to pursue these lucrative careers.

That’s why he had to become a politician. People just thought he was lying! But for politicians it is expected.

Poor Tom Lawyer from Lawyersville wanted to be a composer but his dad was a lawyer and told him he didn’t have a career choice.

If you go back in time like that, many had a name that matched their job.
