Notes - He was a cooper. First at Taunton, Massachusetts in 1643, then at Lynn; came to East Hampton on Long Island about 1651. He was a constable in East Hampton, so presumably respected by his fellow townsmen. His will was written at Southampton and proved at Southold.
In 1676, he gave one John Squire certain tracts of land as his daughter Ann's marriage portion.
