His name was on the list of men living in Greenwich Connecticut when the New Haven court compelled them to come under the legal jurisdiction of Stamford deputies William Law and Francis Bell. "There was no defining line between Stamford and Greenwich, so that in the records there sometimes appears a phrase defining a man's home as near or in one or the other…" Greenwich was not a well-knit community. Stamford and New Haven felt that "those settlers" were an undisciplined lot! No doubt, some men moved from Stamford to Greenwich seeking a measure of freedom from public scrutiny. Law and Bell prepared a letter, demanding a list of the male citizens of Greenwich. After ignoring the letter for as long as they could, the Greenwich men bowed to the inevitable and sent in their list in October 1656 and, thereafter, grudgingly accepted the fact that they were part of Stamford and under New Haven jurisdiction.
