Notes

the first to take up his residence in that portion of Medfield lying west

of the Charles river, and was active in having it set off as the town of

Medway, in 1713 (History of Medfield, Tilden, p. 451). In 1710, he was

chosen master of a school established for residents of the west side. He

was interested in church matters, and was Deacon of the Medway Church

(History of Medway, Jammeson, p.121). He was present at Deerfield when

news was received of the return of the captives taken at the Deerfield

massacre, and is said to have himself made a copy of Benjamin WAITE's

letter announcing their arrival at Albany, which, in company with John

PLIMPTON, Jr., he brought to Medfield and delivered to the Rev., John

WILSON, by whom it was forwarded to the Governor of the Colony (Hist.

of Deerfield, Sheldon, vol. i, p.,186; History of Medfield, Tilden, p. 458).
