His father-in-law made a gift to him by deed of the west end of his house, 13 acres of land adjoining, and a quarter interest in his gristmill and stream (Smelt brook). He later inherited his father-in-law's homestead of about 40 acres and the mill pasture of about equal area. He also owned 20 acres of woodland and a cider mill and four negro slaves.He was prominent in town affairs and served on various committees. [1] He was a deacon of the Congregational church in Newton and was one of the donors of its communion service. He gave in his will L5 to the church, to be loaned out so as not to depreciate, the interest to be given to such poor widows as the deacons judge proper. [1]
