He removed to Hadley, and the town made an agreement with him in 1661 to keep the ferry between Hadley and Northampton. He built his house on a small home lot, which had been reserved by the town for a ferry lot. He was given leave also to entertain travelers. In 1677, the town voted to pay him ce 40 for the loss of his team, which had been impressed for the country's service, and for ferriage for soldiers.
