to the Plymouth General Court in 1686, and in 1692 representative at the first
General Court in Massachusetts under the new charter of William and Mary (NEHGR
25:357-8). Earlier, from about 1666, he had lived in Swansea and 'on the 18
or 19th of June [1675] Job Winslow's House was broke open at Swanzy and rifled
by Philips men.' (Slotkin, p. 150) This was one of the first incidents in King
Philip's War and Savage says the house was burnt. ... Job survived [the war]
and is called 'lieutenant' in some of the records." (Bonnie Hubbard)
