Notes
General:
In 1666 a complaint was made against him and John Hold "for tumultuous carriage and speaking against the inflictions of punishment against two delinquents," and they were fined twenty shillings.
In 1685 he was excused from watching "being an impotent man having lost the use of one of his feet and now having two sons in the public service." The same year he was appointed constable but declined on account of lameness.
He moved to Hartford, and was one of Hartford's contingent under Captain Munson at the destruction of the Pequot fort. He removed 1642 to New Haven where he became one of the town's greatest military men. In 1675 he commanded the New Haven trops who at Norrituck defended that plantation against the Indians. From 1666 to 1683 he was New Haven's representative in the general assembly.
