    He resided with his father on the Homestead, of which he had become the owner by gift and purchase, as was related in the notice of his father. He was also the owner of other land and a house previous to his father's decease ; for in 1699, he mortgaged a house and two lots of land to Thomas Kendall, as security for money borrowed. One lot of six acres is described as bounded " South East by said Kendall's own land. South West by the land of William Locke, North West by the high way. North East by land of Mr. Blocket, [Blodgett.] The other lot of six acres, with a dwelling-house, is bounded East by a brook, South by said Thomas Kendall, West by the highway. North by Samuel Blocket, Jr." In 1713, he bought of William Johnson, Jr. a lot of meadow land, " bounded by the meadow of Henry Johnson Westerly, and by the brook that cometh from Ralf Kendall's and so runeth to Samuel Kendall's Southwardly, and by the land and meadow of the said Ebenezer Locke elsewhere."

    By his will, it also appears, he was owner of a large tract of land in the " North Township above Gioton," which was what is now Townsend and a part of Ashby, which he gave to his sons, Ebenezer and Josiah, in his will. He was frequently elected to town offices, and was Lieut., but was released from Military duty on account of " bodily infirmuies." His will was made two days before his decease. See a deed in the Appendix from his father, which will furnish a description of his estate,
