Born in Pennsylvania in 1789, Gustine was a member of the board of managers of the Mifflin Bridge Company in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania in 1828.

Awarded the contract for the first courthouse erected at Mifflintown, Pennsylvania in 1832, he served as a member of the first town council of Mifflintown in 1833, and was also employed as a merchant in that same year.[3][4]
