He took the oath of allegiance in 1677, frequently served as moderator held other local offices and was a representative to the General Court in 1689 and 1690. He was not a signer of the articles of agreement between the old and new town of Salisbury but took up his residence in the new town about 1658 when he was chosen one of a committee to lay out the river lots. He drew lot No 1 which lay along the western side of the Buttonwood road but cut off from the river by John Weed's ten acre lot. He lived at a place called Jamaca and it is very probable that his house was the garrison house several times spoken of in Merrill's History of Amesbury as Captain Foot's fort.
