According to 'Col. Fam.', '...was Major + Lieut. Col. in the Militia...' Made his will 22 Apr 1723 which was proved 8 May 1725. In his will, he gave his son Joseph his 'silver headed staff and silver hilted rapier.' He was called Lieutenant Colonel in the town records. He discovered the first limestone in the colony at Newbury, and the discovery is said to have created great excitement. |
