In the Ipswich quarterly court of 1669-70 March, he and his wife were fined for fornication before marriage

On 1673 Sep 29, he bought for £40 from Benjamin and Mary Rice 40 acres at the Beaver Dam on the Connecticut road. He settled on this farm in 1677. That area became part of Framingham in 1700

He was appointed to a committee in 1701 to oversee the completion of the Framingham meetinghouse

On 1722 Mar 30, he deeded the farm to son-in-law Samuel How in return for support for himself and his wife, as well as paying off the heirs
