Notes - He arrived in Hingham in 1650. He is called "a Scotchman" by the History of the Town of Hingham, not hard to believe given his surname. A farmer, he lived on Scotland Street, and it's easy to speculate that the street was named after him.
His Find a Grave page says that he was one of 150 Scottish prisoners of war deported to the New World on the Unity after the Battle of Dunbar, but while this is plausible, we know of nothing that confirms it.
