Born at sea, graduated Harvard College 1651, married Dorothy Bradstreet 14 June 1654.
Born at sea in transit from England to Massachusetts Bay Colony on the ship Griffin. Graduated from Harvard College in 1651.
From Alfred Gooding, Minister of the South Parish, Portsmouth, N.H.*
From the Granite Monthly Vol. 42, pgs. 283-5 (1910)
"He was settled in Hampton in 1657 at a salary of sixty-five pounds (afterwards increased to eighty pounds), a parsonage and the use of a farm of two hundred acres. No sermon by him exists in print. He apparently kept no record of church affairs or statistics; only a few memoranda of events, a membership list and the like, were found among his papers. What a pity that a ministry of thirty-one years should have been so scantily recorded. The only contemporary mention of him that we have is a brief word by his nephew, the famous Cotton Mather, who says in his "Magnalia" that he "was esteemed a thorough scholar and an able preacher," and that he especially abominated the Pegagian heresy. He married twice and had a noble family of eleven children."
Born at sea. Parents were migrating from England to Boston, MA
Baptized Sept 8 1633 in Boston.
First Congregation Church (oldest church in New Hampshire) pastor from 1659-1686
