He received a part of his father's farm by deed of gift, 97 acres, and, in 1741, bought 15 1/2 acres for �40. In 1742 he sold 12 acres of swamp for �18. His homestead was on the west side of Concord river. He had a seat in the meeting-house, 1736, in the "2d seat, Front Gallerie." His minister's rate, 1755, was 7sh. 11d. He was a member of the "second jury" in the County Court of Sessions, 1744. He was elected highway surveyor, 1741, '48, '54 and '57; and constable in 1749, in which year was committed to him for collection, first, �21.11.08, and then �42.01.09 of the town tax. He provided timber for the new meeting-house, 1738; was one of a committee of two "to take care of our upper bridge over Concord river," 1749, in which year, also, he was paid for "string pieces and labor for the Bridge," and on a committee to decide "where school shall be kept in the several quarters of the town," 1758. In 1761 he was paid for "work on the bridge." In 1762, Sep. 3, two days before his death, his will was drawn. The phraseology of this paper is peculiar in that it has the form and legal terms, not of a will, but of a deed. His wife was appointed administratrix; his son Jacob was one of the witnesses. The testator gave, 1st, to his wife "all my indoor or household movables, except such as are peculiar for husbandry use;" 2d, to his daughters, Mary, Martha and Esther "the free use of a room in my Dwelling House" during their lives. Two of the three did not long require the room; Martha and Esther died the same month. The personal inventory was �174, and that of the real estate, �310. His homestead, 107 acres, with buildings gs, was appraised at �264; a wood-lot of 16 acres at �38, and 4 acres of meadow at �8, making the above total. In 1769 the surviving children joined in deeds by which the farm was divided between the sons Jacob and Jesse. Jacob, the father, m. 1736-7, Jan. 20, Martha Beard, b. 1714, Aug. 21, at Billerica.
