Up to the time of his mg in 1673, he resided with his father on Rawson's Lane, Boston, where he kept a dry goods store. At 22 md Ann Glover-only dau of Nathaniel & Mary Smith Glover of Dorchester, Mass & is proven by a certificate copied from the ancient Bible. In 25 years, they had 20 children, but only 5 sons lived to grow up & have fams of their own. He purchased a house of Mr John Glover of Boston (wife's uncle) & resided in Boston some time. The names of their children are rcded in the ancient fam Bible.
