He took an active part in the struggle against Charles the first, and while fightng in the army of Cromwell at the battle of Edgehill, was killed on Oct 23, 1642. His widow died in 1643, and the steward of the estate sent the 2 sons to Boston in 1648, reporting them dead, for the purpose of claiming the estate himself. Joshua Henshaw, when an old man, attempted to recover the stolen estate of his father and died in London in 1719, when it seemed certain that a decision was about to be rendered in his favor, in the suit he brought against Joshua, son of Peter Ambrose, the embezzling steard. His death followed a dinner to which he was invited by Ambrose for the pretended purpose of adjusting the differences. The property was never recovered by the rightful owners.
