MIGRATION & RESIDENCE He supposedly emigrated to Salem, Essex co., MA with Mr. Samuel Sharp in 1629. I have no confirmation of this or when he was freed from Sharp's servitude. He eventually settled in Lynn, Essex co., MA and bought Thomas Coates' house in Lynn, Essex co., MA. Again, confirmation of this is currently lacking.
