• Notes

  He arrived in Boston 10 Jun 1662 to become minister of the First Church there, a position he held until his death. His birthday is known, but to our knowledge no proof exists that he was a "son of a minister in Hampshire." Unless he said so himself at some point, in which case we would welcome a pointer to that.
