was admitted a freeman December 7, 1636, but very
soon afterward removed to Concord and settled. In

He was elected by the general court constable
of Concord, December 4, 1638. He was a deputy to
the general court seven years, representing the town

the purpose of taxing." He was appointed a special
officer to prevent drunkenness among the Indians.

pounds. In his day he was a leading citizen, both
