He was a surveyor and was employed to survey the lines of Windsor, Conn.(then called Dorchester) and Wethersfield (then called Watertown). For a few years or so the Connecticut Colony was under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay government, which appointed commissioners for the purpose.

The records show that he was a prominent surveyor in the Connecticut colonies for many years. He lived in the eastern part of Wethersfield whic later became Glastonbury, Conn., and some of his original farm is now owned or was recently owned by descendants ever since the original grant. After living in Wethersfield for 3 years he went to Long Island Sound, where he settled in the town of Milford. Later he sold Milford Island to Richard BRYAN. He married Mary BISHOP, who died at Guilford, Conn., Sept. 14,1675.
