Individual Notes
• On March 23, 1738, he testified calling himself aged 78 years and upwards, that his father was formerly a surveyor and was employed by the purchasers of Pallaquanscott, etc. [630, p 27]
• He seems to have taken little interest in town or Colonial affairs, for the records preserve a deep silence, when asked to give some items for a sketch of his life. The old books of land evidence, however, show his name more often than that of any other of the old planters, as a purchaser of large tracts of land, -- not bought of the Indians for wampum or glass beads, but of the original purchasers, at good prices. [860, p 8]
