in the Christian, at London, Mar. 1635, aged 40, says the London custom
ho. rec. with John, Thomas, and Francis, his brs. also, and went
with the earliest migrat. from Dorchester, where he could have liv.
but few mos. was never m. is nam. on the first page of Conn. rec. as
hav. trad. a musket with an Ind. in Apr. 1636, which he as direct. to

exchange. the yrs. of Henry and John; he also brot. w. prob. Jane, aged
35; and s. Henry, 3 yrs. and John, 9 mos. Of course he first liv. at
Dorchester or Boston, and prob. rem. with others of D. by ld. to Conn.
