He had a house and land near the burying ground in the West Parish, sometimes known as Chebacco, and now as Essex. He may have been connected with Richard of Newbury who received a grant of land also near Chebacco river in 1635. He appears among a list of 82 settlers, all the known proprietors of land in Gloucester from the time of its settlement to the close of 1650. Gloucester was probably chosen by these prorpietors on account of its value as a fishing post. According to Col.
