Born in Sudbury, Mass., about 1650. He married 18 May 1671, Mary Haynes [1][2][3] of Sudbury, daughter of John Haynes, born about 1647. They lived in Marlborough most of the time, but it is quite probable that they went to some other place of safety during King Philip's war, as they had one child, born in Sudbury in 1678. We have not the date of his death, but the administrator of his estate was appointed 23 June 1710. His widow married second, 15 Nov. 1710. , John Prescott of Lancaster.[4][5]
