. Michael, Abigal and their two oldest daughters immigrated t
o Massachusetts in 1639 and purchased a lot from Timothy Dalto
n at Dedham. Timothy had been a mister at Wolverstone from 161
8 unto 1636 and prbably knew Michael and Abigal. Michael was li
censed on May 6, 1646, to open and "ordinary", which was a sma
l tavern. This is the first recorded tavern in Dedham. In 164
8 Michael moved to Boston after apparently sellinghis tavern t
o Joshua Fisher. At Boston Micaheal became deeply involved wit
h the Old North Church. He wanted to become a minister, but wa
s refused dueto lack of education. Therefore, he served as a l
ay preacher and elder. Michael died prior to March 20, 1673. i
n Boston. Abigail died between March 14and April 21 1677.

His name first appears on the records in New England as one wh
o among others on August 181836 signed the covenant sent to th
e General Court for an application for a town at Dedham, Norfolk
, Mass., which is a few miles southeast of Boston.
Angestral File says Michael was born December 28, 1605 Romford,E
ssex England anddied January 28,1673 with burial on January 31
. It also gives April 28 1679as a death date for Abigail. Anc
estral File gives three additional childrennames Margaret bor
n before 1638, christened 1638 buried June 6, 1649. If this is c
orrect, then the Margaret who married Anthony Howard must have b
een born in 1649.
