  He was a watchman at Charlestown in 1665. He lived in Barnstable and removed to Yarmouth before 1668. In Yarmouth, his farm was near the Meadows. He moved to Preston, Connecticut in 1696, ten years after it was established. In Preston, his land bordered that of Thomas Parke, whose granddaughter Phebe Larabee married his son John Benjamin.
