He was from the vicinity of Dedham, county Essex, and one of the first settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, where he was a well-to-do yeoman. He was constable of that town in 1630, and he was made a Freeman on 18 May 1631. In 1662, he was one of the group of Watertown men who settled the town of Groton, Massachusetts, where he was one of the early Selectman. After the burning of Groton in Philip's war in 1675, he returned to Watertown, where he died on 18 December 1676, "aged about 90 years".

He married in Lavenbam, county Suffolk, 5 June 1621, Phoebe (baptized 1 April 1594), the daughter of William Paine of the town and sister of William Paine of Ipswich and Boston, a prominent New England merchant.
