  • "He owned a large tract of land in the Beaver Brook district, where he lived, in the northeast portion of the town. A large part of this land lay within the present limits of the town of Brookfield...It is evident he was a man of wealth and prominence in Danbury, for in 1731, '33, '34, and '35 he was sent as Deputy to the General Court---a position of great honor in those days, and the record show that he left a large property to one, at least, of his daughters. He was chosen May 10, 1723, Lieut., and May 14, 1733, Captain of the North company or "train band," and Oct. 9, 1739, the company was warned to meet to fill the office made vacant by the recent disease of Capt. John Starr."
