During his long life he was in volve d in many colony governmental activities and business ventures, bei ng on e of the original members of the “Purchaser” investment group of 16 26. I n his later years he described himself as a blacksmith, but Banks i ndicat es that in addition to being a worker in metals, he was also a gun smith.
The Fortune arrived off the it of coast of Provincetown on November 9, 1 6 21. The Nauset Indians sent runners to inform the colonists of the boa t .
