• Notes

  By 1658, was listed (with his father) as one of the largest landowners in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He had strong religious convictions and for many years was a missionary among the Indians of the Mashpee and Herring Pong tribes. His middle name "Henry" is given in "The ancestry and genealogy of Thomas Grover, Utah pioneer", Pg. 290 https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/005695033 giving some legitimacy to Henry Tupper being his grandfather.
