In November 1738, he sold his farm in Stoneham, containing 270 acres for $2,550 in bills of credit, and removed to Dudley, then a new town, incorporated in February 1731.
More than 30 deeds, between 1700 and 1727, are on record in East Cambridge in which he was either grantor or grantee. in 20 of them the land was conveyed to him. He was active in procuring the incorporation of Stoneham in 1725, advancing more money and doing more than any other person. He was on the first board of selectmen, and served in that office for 6 years between 1726 and 1735. He presided in town meetings as moderator and was on almost all the important committees. He was representative of the town in 1734.
