in 1634 he emigrated to New England. Settled in Roxbury, Mass. In the Anne Hutchinson trouble in Boston he took the popular side, but as Gov. Winthrop finally prevailed, he with others found it convenient to emigrate to Rhode Island. In Providence they met Roger Williams who advised them to purchase the island of Aquetnet, now Rhode Island, of the Indians. The purchase was completed March 24, 1638. On July 1, 1639, they established a regular government, with Wm. Coddington, Governor, and Phillip Sherman, Secretary.
After this he often held office in the Colony, and in critical periods. He was a man of intellignece, wealth, and influence, and frequently consulted by those in authority. The early record prepared by him still remains in Portsmouth, and show him to have been a neat and skillful penman, as well as an educated man. After he emigrated to Rhode Island he left the Congregational Church, and united with the Society of Friends. Tradition affirms he was a devout as well as a determined man.
