He served 7 years apprenticeship with Col. John Plaisted and was deacon of the Congregational church 1725-1761, selectman 1719-1736, often moderator.  Register v. 78 p. 77 has records of First Church of Berwick, but Berwick Churches should be more accurate.  He and his wife Sarah "owned the Covenent" and were baptized 7 Oct 1716 along with children Agnes, Joseph, Benjamin, and Daniel (p. 10).  Baptism dates of later children come from this book.  A family tree for Benjamin and son Charles is found in the Register v. 78 p. 427.  Most of the children are listed from Berwick p. 209.
