After his marriage he removed to Douglas (formerly New Sherborn), but later appears to have returned to Uxbridge. The court order to distribute the residue of his estate, dated 3 Oct. 1767 (Worcester Co. #58050) names his five surviving daughters, but indicates only Anna, as administratrix, was married (to Charles Colwell).

Chloe was certainly married (1762) and it is now thought that Hannah had married three weeks before this final settlement. Tabitha and Azubah married later. .
