A man of substance and influence, he was charged in 1652 with being the father of the Widow Elizabeth Johnson's child, which as he was a married man was then a capital offense under the laws of Conn. Colony. Through the connivance of friends, he was delivered from jail while awaiting trial and sought refuge under the Dutch government. He settled in Newtown, L. I., where also he was prominent, and d. before May 1683."
