- He was born in Reading, Mass., educated at the public schools and fitted for college. He was graduated at Harvard in the class of 1731, being the first person born in Reading to graduate at a college. In 1732-4, he was master of the Reading school. He was settled in 1735 as pastor of the church in the West Parish in Haverhill. In 1769 and 1770 he was the representative to the General Court. He removed to Royalston, mass., where he died.
