"William, who grew up in Duxbury, Mass., is referred to in various
documents of the period as a yeoman, boatman,
planter, and wheelwright. He was also a land surveyor. On Nov. 1,
1648, four years after he was married, he bought from
John Holland and Hopestill Foster of Dorchester, Mass., a dwelling
house, garden, stables, land and meadow. He later
bought additional tracts of land in Mattapoisett and Sepecan. At one
point, on Oct. 27, 1680, he adjusted a boundary line
between his lands and those of Mrs. Sarah Parke and William Brewster.
He served as a Duxbury town officer and as a
representative or deputy to the General Court at Plymouth, being repeatedly
elected to the court from 1654 to 1663, then
again in 1668, and continuously from 1671 to 1682. He was admitted
a freeman of the colony June 5, 1651.
"About 1684, he removed to Little Compton, then in Massachusetts
but now in Rhode Island, where he had acquired a
share in lands. Thus he established in Rhode Island what has come
to be known as the Rhode Island branch of the
family."55
