Won the gratitude of his neighbors by selling them inexpensive salt from his saltworks, so that in 1830 when competitors tried to lease the surrounding land, with his fuel supplies (trees) on it, his neighbors petitioned the federal government to deny the leases (Territorial Papers).

On May 31, 1828, Judge Andrew Scott and Edmund Hogan argued about who won the August election in which Hogan had defeated Scott and Alexander S. Walker for Pulaski County's seat in the Legislative Council. They did not duel, but after Scott in effect called Hogan a liar, Hogan hit Scott. Hogan was a large man, and Scott was not. Scott stabbed Hogan four times with a spear drawn from his cane and Hogan died. Since Scott had acted in self-defense, no charges of murder were filed against him. (Ark. Gaz.
