  2. Some family tradition about his origins (came from Ireland to escape service in British Army) are covered in Source:Houghton, William A. History of the Town of Berlin, Worcester County, Mass, p. 417, but as pointed out there is nothing of record until about 1721 when he is {probably just} married. Other family traditions are also presented, some considered unlikely.
