He learned the trade of chair making in one of the factories for which this section of the state is famous and followed his trade for a few years.

As his son John was born in Hitchin, England, in 1639, and he signed a petition at Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1640, it is evident that he came to America in 1639 or 1640. He bought land of Jolin Cotton in 1645. His name was mentioned in an indenture of R. Bellingham in 1652. His wife Hannah deposed December 16, 1662, that her age was fifty years.
