It is probable that he went to Hartford before coming of age, for he is said to have been adopted by Gregory Wilterton of that town. He was admitted a freeman 20 May, 1658. He was a tanner, and lived on the south side of Elm St., on the second lot west from the corne of Main St. After some years he removed to the West Division of the town, now West Hartford, where he made large purchases of land in 1683 and the following years. In 1684, 1694 and 1700 he was a "townsman", or selectman, and he was a deacon of the Second Church. He married SArah Watson, daughter of John and Margaret (Smith) Watson of Hartford. His eight sons and two daughters and the daughters husbands were all living at his death.
