He was admitted freeman, May 14, 1634, then removed his family to Braintree, Massachusetts. He was admitted a member of the “First Congregational Church,” having been dismissed and recommended to them from the church in Roxbury.

Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.

Founding Families of Braintree (1)
Braintree, Massachusetts, boasts a rich history dating back to its initial colonization in 1625 by Captain Wollaston. Originally named Mount Wollaston, the area was later called Merry Mount under Thomas Morton's rule. It was resettled and officially incorporated as Braintree in 1640, taking its name from the English town. Originally, Braintree encompassed a larger area, including present-day Randolph, Holbrook, Quincy, and parts of Milton.
Today, as a suburban community 10 miles south of Boston, Braintree maintains its historical legacy, promoting local landmarks to tourists and cherishing its significant role in shaping American history.

He departed this life upon the thirteenth day of Sept., 1694, and was the father and grandfather, and great-grandfather of one hundred and sixty-two children before he died. He was buried at Hancock Cemetery, Quincy, Massachusetts. His Memorial has a photo of his headstone, a brief biography with speculation about his parents and links to those of his wife and children.
