  • Notes 
    • He was a weaver by trade, deposed Jan. 21, 1690/1 "aged 41 or thereabouts" (Mass. Arch. 36-313a). He was hailed before the selectmen of Dorchester Apr. 20, 1669 "for the inspection of his orderly walking", evidently he was a gay youth who later became an elder of the church. He came to Braintree about 1673 and bought of John Downing "all my house and housing" etc. which formerly did belong unto Richard Chapman. This became the Wales homestead and the house stood until burned Jan. 30, 1903 on Commercial St. nearly opposite Adams St. in Braintree and was still owned at the time by descendants. It was a salt box type with seaweed in the walls for insulation, but had been much modernized. In 1679 he took the oath of allegiance, and was admitted to Braintree Church Feb. 27, 1681 and his wife Joanna Jun. 15, 1684. He was selectman in 1693, 1696, 1798, 1700, tithingman 1694, Representative to General Court 1696, fenceviewer for Monatiquot 1699 and moderator of town meeting 1699, 1702-4, 1706. He was a deacon before 1696 and on Feb. 27, 1701 was ordained ruling elder in the church at now Quincy, a post he held till his death in 1718
