He also bought land of Mrs. Rebecca Joslin, widow of Thomas, in 1664, on the east of Still River, upon the east slope of Wataquadock, and there the family lived after the re-settlement of the town.

His widow married Feb. 9, 1682, John Hinds, from Woburn, but they lived in Lancaster for several years then settled in Brookfield, Massachusetts, but Mary's son John Hinds, Jr., remained in Lancaster, now Bolton.
