Died of boredom, probably. Just signed on to whatever Marshall said. He ruled in favor of slavery, as in Queen v. Hepburn, which is why I suppose he is considered more significant than Duvall, who wrote a moving dissent.

Had we been a monarchy he would have been king as heir to George Washington.

[Dan Schiavetta]

Yes but his younger brother Pushrod would be the one cranking the engine of government into action.

[Dilan Esper]

Doesn't matter because he has the best name in the Supreme Court's history.
