He settled on the Connecticut side of the Pawtucket river, half-way between Westerly and Watch Hill. On 10 FEB 1664/65, he was brought before the Council at Hartford because of a complaint lodged by the Pawcatuck Indians, who claimed he and other inhabitants of Westerly were demanding rent from them and threatened to drive the Indians from the land. In 1667, he and others claimed land on the Pawtucket River. The Pequot Indians appealed to the Governor of Connecticut to settle these matters.
