He received his first plots of land there in 1640. He owned land on both sides of the Connecticut River as shown in this early land map. He also owned a home lot just north of Union Street and a plot of land between Mill River and Pecowsic Brook. The plots of land were awarded with a condition that the recipient live on the land for a period of years.
