He was one of the largest proprietors of the said township; his residence or homestead was a little south of the present [c. 1874] center of the town, on Providence Road; held many offices of honor in his town and commonwealth; was a man of wealth in his day and age of the world, and his sons were all provided with farms by him, and several of his sons became extensive land dealers, and many of their descendants occupy those farms to this day [c. 1874], and have never changed names in title for over two hundred years; six of his children born in Mendon, Mass., the records of which were destroyed by King Phillips war from 1666 to 1680, which is lost by that war -- Preserved Smith Thayer.
"Mendon was first settled by the whites as a plantation in 1662, and continued in that union until 1667, when it was invested with town privileges by the general court of the commonwealth, and so remained until the breaking out of the Indian hostilities in 1675, when the settlement was broken up, the settlers flying to Braintree and Weymouth, where they staid [sic] till 1679 or '80, to January 3d, 1680, after which date there is no interruption up to the present time [c. 1874]. -- Alexander H. Allen, Town Clerk of Mendon."
