  • Notes 
    • He was a carpenter. Along with several others, he was apprenticed to master carpenter Francis Stiles, who was paid by Richard Saltonstall to bring them to Windsor to build houses for those who would emigrate from England later. This group was on the 16 Mar 1635 shipping list of the Christian of London, which arrived in Boston on 16 June; they reached Windsor at the beginning of July.

      He was a sergeant in the Pequot War, but he was made to forfeit his rank after striking one Lt. Cook during a heated discussion of religious and church matters.
