• Notes

  He came with John Winthrop and his 900 immigrants to Boston in 1630. After successfully fighting the Indians in New England the Dutch Government invited him to come to New Amsterdam in 1649 to help them. In 1653 the MA Goverment allowed him and Capt. Edward Hull to come and fight the Indians in Long Island. In 1657 he bought a place in 1657 at Southold and in 1658 bought his family there in 1658. His wife, whom he had married in Holland, died soon after and he sold out and moved west and settled at Oysterbay which he named Kenilworth
