• Notes

  Came to Salem from Norwich, England in 1637 on the Mary Anne. With him were his wife Sarah and their children Lydia, Hannah, and John. Sarah evidently died either on the voyage or shortly after their arrival. He is described as a "weaver" in the shipping list, but he was ordered in 1639 to keep an inn at Salem, and he always appears in Salem records as a "vintner."
