| Notes |
- Born in Dorsetshire, England, 1616. Emigrated to Greenwich, Connecticut. Later moved to Long Island and acquired large estate at Hellgate. In 1652 (Dec. 1st) he obtained a ground brief or deed to 161 acres previously owned by Jacques Bentyn, one of Director Van Twiller's council. This tract is now within the village of Astoria (used to be called Hallett's Cove). In the fall of 1655 Indians destroyed his house and plantations and he moved to Flushing [New York]. Here he was appointed Sheriff in 1656 but later in same year he was deposed by Stuyvesant, fined, and imprisioned for entertaining Rev. Wm. Wickenden from Rhode Island. Disgusted at such treatment he advocated the claims of Connecticut when Long Island revolted against the Dutch.
