There are no credits in the Steward's Account-Book, the leaf being cut out.
He married Margaret, widow of Thomas Scott, of Stamford, Connecticut, and sister of the historian, William Hubbard, H. U. 1642. Having had several children, he died 5 July, 1674, and his widow in 1678, her will being dated 22 June and probated 17 September. Felt says: 'One reason why his uncle, the Rev. Ezekiel Rogers of Rowley, declined to make him his chief heir, as expected, was, that he would not consent to have his hair cut short.'"
