From Stearn's "Genealogy of New Hampshire:" "On March 25, 1666, he bought of Giles Fifield one dwelling house and house lot containing ten acres, together with six acres of marsh. This house lot lay on the south side of the common in Hampton and entitled him to two shares of the commonage. This homestead continued in the posession of his descendants down to the seventh generation and perhaps longer. He became blind during the last ten years of his life.."
