They arrived sometime in the 1640's and not later than 1648.

He was a man of sufficient wealth to pay the transportation of at least 72 persons who came to Virginia Colony. He acquired over 6400 acres of land and he assigned land to others. If he had a will it was lost. He had three sons, Mathew, John, and Robert. Robert died sometime between July 20, 1662 and February 9, 1663. He "copied the records of the Virginia Council for Lieutenant Colonel Walker" and another duty was to have "the commissioners of the militia in every county provide 4 barrels of powder with shot sufficient for each regiment."
