Served in Colonial Militia Training Band
Lieutenant; Guilford and Killingworth, Conn.
On Sept. 28, 1666, the town of Killingworth agreed to pay him 40 shillings per year to beat the drum on Sabbath days to summon residents to worship services and to maintain the drum at his own expense. He may have fought in King Philip's War. On a 1994 trip to Clinton, Conn. [once part of Killingworth], I was told that as late as the 1980s one of his descendants was a bell ringer at the Congregational church.
