He was among the "Adventurers Party" of twenty-five men led by John Steele who scouted area that would become Hartford in October 1635, before the Rev. Hooker's party departed Cambridge in May 1636, and he was one of sixteen founders living in Hartford in 1635 prior to the arrival of Hooker's party. His name is on the Founders Monument in downtown Hartford. He was the ruling elder of the Hartford church under the Rev. Hooker. At some point he married, as his second wife, the Rev. Hooker's widow.
