He was Magistrate of Flatlands for the years 1655, I656, I658, I662, 1663 and in February 1664. He was likewise one of the representatives of the convention held at Midwout (now Flatbush) for the purpose of sending a delegation to Holland to lay before the States-general and West India Company the distressed state of the country. He was also one of the patentees in the town charters of I667 and 1686. He married, about I649, Gretie, daughter of Hendrick vanness and on November 27, 1650, his first child, a daughter, was baptised in the old Collegiate church, New York, as that was then the only church organization, the church at Flatlands not being organized until I6 54. His second child, a daughter, was also baptised in New York, Judith Bayard, wife of the Governor, being one of the wit nesses. All the other children, one daughter and seven sons, in all ten, were baptised at Flatlands, of which church he was one of the charter mem bers, and under which he is said to be buried. Un fortunately the early records of this church have been lost.
