In 1723 he was the Representative in the general Court from Plympton, and held the office of Ensign in the military company in that town, in those days an office of considerable distinction. Church records state he was made Deacon at a church meeting held 26 Dec 1718 , and some time in March he and Samuel Sturtevant and Daniel Bosworth were ordained Deacons by the imposision [imposition] of hands. His house stood on the highway leading eastward from Plympton Green to Kingston and was the first dwelling house northward of the bridge over Colchester brook on said road.
