He had a grant of land there at the time lots were drawn, September 18, 1635, and was made a freeman in 1636-37. He remained in Hingham only a few years before removing to Boston, where he died before October 31, 1650, at which time his will was probated. In this he gives to wife Sarah, "the house I now dwell in, there being an hundred foot taken out of the higher end of it (westward) and what shall remain shall belong to the house given to my wife." Three house lots were appointed, for sons, Benjamin, Gamaliel, and George. He also mentions "my son-in-law, Thomas Yeo; and son, George Vickers." His son, Joseph, joint executor with his wife.
