    Notes 
    • Oath of allegiance at Newbury, 1678.

      He was a soldier in King Philip's War under Capt. William Turner and was in the "Falls Fight" (at Turner's Falls) 19 May 1676 and was one to help bury the brave commander there as he himself certified. (Bodge's Soldiers in King Philip's War, 251). In Jan. 1701/2 he petitioned for a grant of land for this service. (Currier, History of Newbury, 1902, p.511). At the age of 23 in 1678, he took the oath of allegiance in Newbury. He was a cooper by trade and in 1688 paid a tax on one head, two horses, and one cow.

      He settled at first near the bank of the Merrimack river above the "chain bridge." On 24 Dec 1698, he purchased "upland in the upper woods," at the "Training Field" in the west end of the town (now in West Newbury). The house which he is supposed to have erected about 1699 is still standing (1928) and is the third east of the present town house.
