After the Revolutionary War, he completed medical studies in Connecticut, and in 1792, moved to Glynn County where he operated a medical practice in the Town of Frederica. In 1796, Cyrus married Ann Harris, was appointed Surgeon in the U.S. Army, stationed at Coleraine in Camden County. In 1802, he resigned from the Army and was appointed Quarantine Officer for the Port of Brunswick and served in that position until his death by drowning in St. Simons Sound.
