He adhered throughout to the Parker party as a member of the Church, his son Thomas taking the other side, but without break between them. By consent of all Freemen at a "Generalle Towne Meeting", the stinting of the commons in 1642 was referred to Henry Short, Edward Woodman, Edward Rawson, Thomas Hale and John Woodbridge, according to their best judgments and discretions. He seems to have removed to Haverhill in 1645 or 1646, to have returned to Newbury before January 15, 1652; to have removed to Salem before Jan. 28, 1658; to have returned to Newbury, Nov. 9, 1661.
