Served in 1676 in Capt. George Denison's expedition in King Philip's War; he received a posthumous land grant, which his sons sold.

In 1664, he was arraigned with his friend, John Carr, for various misdemeanors, including trying to entice women from their husbands (by writing letters, hiding in their houses, etc). They were fined and the young women were warned to take care.

(NOTE: Despite the family legend about the first Carr being orphaned at sea in the early 1700s when both his immigrant parents died on the voyage, the Ashcrafts and the Carrs were thus associated at least a generation earlier and continued their connection in Pennsylvania and Indiana well into the 1800s.)
