H., in October, 1638, where he married Mary Estow about 1647, a daughter of Wm. Estow, Esq. Being past twenty-one years of age, it is very probable that he had a grant of land from the General Court, as did the other pioneers; then he bought land of John Sanborn, May 25, 1645, and leased a house and lot from Robert Knight, which formerly belonged to Robert Marston, Oct. 5, 1653 (see deeds.)

He died testate, in Hampton, Sept. 28, 1690, aged seventy-three years and bout seven months.
