the colony. He was Selectman for 27 years between 1689-1722,

commissioned Ensign of local military company in 1706 a Lieut.

original proprietors of the 16 shilling purchase Lot No. 5, 21 Nov.

1679. His commission as Ensign in the “Company of Foote” was

granted by William Stoughton, Lieut. Gov. of MA on 5 Aug. 1706.

He was Capt. of the First Co. in Middleboro, 1716. His will proved

5 Mar. 1733/4 (a very long one) may be found in the Am. Gen. Vol.

23-24, p. 29- 35. It mentions his sons Jabez, George, and John and

his daughters Betty Cobb, Mary Marriner, and Joanna Sampson --

which proves Joanna Sampson was living in 1733/4. His sons Jabez

and George were the executors.
