He held "many offices of public trust, as town Clerk & Treasurer he served twenty three years successively and continued in said offices till the day of his death which was July 1,1776" says the town record. He resided at his father's farm "Beersheba" at the present site of Norfolk Co. Hospital until his father's death in 1762 after which he probably resided in the former parsonage on Elm St. some of the time. Since he was buried at Dyer Hill Cem. he was evidently residing in Braintree Highlands at his decease. The old house there was standing until near 1900. The site is now marked by huge lilac bushes to the right of the front entrance to the hospital buildings (1950).
Dr. Alden says he lived where John Holbrook who married his step daughter Anna Wild lived afterwards.
