By wife Adrean he had two sons : (1) Nathaniel, who was called as a minister to Lancaster, then styled Nashua, upon the first attempt to organize a church there.

For twenty years previous to 1681 he is said to have been the only school- teacher in Watertown. He taught Latin, English, and writing, and continued in this employment as late as 1687. Jan. 6, 1660-1, he was hired for one year for £30, and was allowed 2s. "a head for keeping the dry herd." He md. June 24, 1650, Mary Brooks, who was the mother of his seven children ; she d.

Soon after the drawing of lots he became one of the proprietors of this town, and in 1759 was chosen one of a committee to lay out a road from Ashburn- ham, and another from New Ipswich, to the centre of this town; but he never resided in Rindge except, perhaps, the last few years of his life. His eight children, the fifth generation in America, were as follows : -
