"He was a student in Immanuel College, Cambridge, but failed of graduation, owing to his puritanic views. He came to America in 1633; remained a short time in Watertown, Mass, whence he passed, 1635, to Wethersfield, Conn., where he was magistrate. In 1640, he became one of the planters of Milford; was admitted to the church there, Nov. 20, 1640; chosen magistrate of the colony, May 27, 1641; dismissed from Milford, Nov. 8, 1647, and about the same date became pastor of the church in Watertown, where he continued until his death. He was one of the most learned men of his day, and an able and eloquent preacher.
He was twice married; 1st to Abigail, by whom he had six children; 2nd to Mary Launce, a great-granddaughter of Thomas Darcy, Earl of Rivera by whom he had twenty children. Cotton Mather says he had twenty-six children, but it is probably several died in infancy, as we have record of twelve."--David Sherman
