The family of five sons and two daughters settled in Ipswich, MA Colony, where they resided near the east bridge. That same year, he purchased a house and lands of John Tuttell. On April 5, 1641, he was granted eight acres of meadow in the west meadow. He an his son, Abraham are mentioned as subscribers to an allowance for Major Dison in 1648. He was a surveyor of highways and in 1664, he and his sons (Abraham, Reginald, Isaac and Jacob) are listed as inhabitants that have shares in Plum Island and Co. His name is mentioned many, many times in the Ipswich town records.
