1743 May 19 - Signed a petition asking that the parish of Somerset be made a town. (It didn't actually happen for ten years)

"His will, executed at the latter place, Jan. 19, 1771, shows thast he was well endowed with worldly substance, mostly in farms, which he distributed among his numerous children. To two of his sons, Tristram and Joseph, he gave his Berwick homestead, and his negroes, whose ashes repose in the family burying-ground of their former masters."
