• Notes

  "He settled at Swansey abt. 1666. 'At the breaking out of the Indian War, June, 1675, his house at Swansey, which he had inhabited eight or nine years, was burnt by the enemy.' [Savage's Gen. Dict., IV, 600. Plym. Rec., X, 364.] He appears to have been one of the early settlers of Rochester, as he was there about 1680. [Barber's Mass. Hist. Collections, p. 524.] But he soon removed to Freetown, for, in 1686, he was one of the selectmen of that town; Town Clerk and grand-juryman in 1690; assessor in 1691, 1701-1706, and 1711; moderator of the annual town meeting in 1708 and 1711; deputy to the General Court in 1686, and representative, in 1692, at the first General Court in Massachusetts under the charter of Wm. and Mary. He was a leading man in all town matters, both civil and religious. He is styled 'Lieutenant,' and was a shipwright by occupation." [Winslow Memorial, citation details below]
