In 1650, he moved to help found the new town of Medfield. He became one of the first settlers and proprietors. He drew lots from time to time, most of which, by a division of the
township in 1713, fell into Medway. His first land draw was three acres and three roods, bounded by John Bowers north-west. His house lot was on Bridge Street.

In 1662, he and his wife moved to Medfield, Massachusetts.

In 1663,a company of 15 of his former townsmen, with others from Weymouth, having undertaken the settlement of Mendon, he and the Adamses at Medfield proposed to join them; and he actually presented his request for acceptance as a proprietor ; but the Adamses finally declined, and his proposal seems not to have been acted upon, he having most likely withdrawn it.

On 23 May 1666, he became a Freeman.

During King Philip's War, he was one of the defenders of the fort at Bogistow, near Medway-Sherborn, Massachusetts. His home was burnt by the Indians during King Philips War.

In 1675, his subscription to the town of Medfield was 1½ bushels of corn and 1 bushel of wheat.

In 1678, he contributed to Harvard College.

His estate was inventoried 26, (11), 1680, and appraised by Edward Adams and John Harding, the husband of Elizabeth Adams. Administration was granted Mar. 18, 1680, to his son, Josiah, and his estate harmoniously settled. He owned lots at Bear Hills, in Medfield, in and adjacent to Broad Meadows, on Long Plain, and 85 acres on the New Grant, now W. Med. ; and he seems to have been a husbandman in common circumstances, and a worthy and respected citizen.
