He was commissioned Lieutenant of the 1st company in Stamford, Oct. 1743, and Captain, Oct. 1750.

His will, 13 Oct. 1781, proved 22 Aug. 1785, named wife Jemima; sons David and Phineas (executors) and two youngest daughters Mary and Rebecca Waterbury, these four to have the residue after payment of legacies to: legal representatives of dec'd daughter Mary; legal representatives of dec'd daughter Ruth; daughter Mercy if living or her legal representatives if dead; and daughter Abigail. It is specified that dec'd daughter Sarah and daughter Prudence have had their portions in full. The second wife was dead by 5 Sept. 1796, when distribution of the pat of the realty which had been set to the widow for life was made to the heirs: sons David and Phinehas and daughters Mary Weed and Rebecca Brown. (the four who under the will were to have the residue).

Action on the estate of the first wife was not taken until after Capt. David's death; presumably awaiting the expiration of his curtesy right.
