He was one of those to petition for the pardon of John Pke, who had been lieutenant of the militia n Newbury and who had fallen under the displeasure of the general court for some reason. On Octover 19, 1654, the court ordered those who petitioned to give bonds in the sum of ten pounds for daring to petition, to appear for trial. The three men, however, received no punishment for asking for fair play for their officer.
