and his family remained in Hingham until about 1650,
when he purchased, with others, large tracts of land at
Cambridge Hill, now Newton, near the line which divides
Brookline and Newton. While living in Hingham, he was
received as freeman on 9 March 1636/7. Before 1656, he had
moved and was living in Kittery, Maine and thereafter he
received several grants of land from that town. Nicholas first
appears on record at Kittery, ME in 1655 for being absent from
meeting. In 1659 he and others, among which were our
ancestors Anthony Emery and Richard Nason, were ordered to
Boston for entertaining Quakers. Nicholas pleaded not guilty
but it was ordered that he be admonished by the Governor.
Nicholas deeded his homestead at Kittery to his son, Benoni, in
1678 for support of himself and wife, except 7 acres whereon
his son-in-law, John Morrell, was then living. In 1679, he
deeded 40 acres of land to his son, Timothy.
