Aug. 17, 1644, d. Oct. 26, 1714. He was a man of great industry and sagacity, and lived the life of diligent farmer and useful citizen. He brought up a large family and left an honorable name. He and his wife were members of the church before 1675. The town chose him as one of its two constables in 1688.
