Notes
His father’s will (1625) left him the ground at the Moor “if he be livinge,” and otherwise to three grandsons. Weaver: he “seems to have left home before his father made his will.” Lord places him at Weymouth by 1627 and at Dorchester in 1635, and gives him a son Thomas, born about 1627. Spear calls him an emigrant, “a. 1595-by 1644.”
