the town of Stamford by the New Haven colony, left the jurisdiction of
England, and took up land under the Dutch government, on the south side
of Long Island, N. Y. This was in 1644. In 1647 land was apportioned to
him in Hempstead. In 1656 he signed legal documents by "his mark." In 1658
he became one of the sureties for the good behavior of his brother-in-law,
John Ellington. On Nov. 29, 1658, ten acres of land were allotted to him
in Hempstead. He was chosen townsman in 1662, and in 1663 land was granted
to him and others at Mad Nan's Neck, and this same year he was taxed for
thirty acres, and on ten acres, two oxen, and four cows. In 1676 he was
chosen overseer. He was granted four acres of land, for which he was required
to furnish the town with two gallons of rum to drink. At a public meeting
in Hempstead, in 1677, land was given to him, and also land on Hempstead
Plains. In 1678 he was chosen constable and real estate valuator. He made
