I am surprised that nothing in his bio mentions that he was one of the founders of Southampton (Long Island). He signed as one of the undertakers in the endeavor. It appears, like Allen Bread, he must have returned to Lynn. You can read more about him here- https://www.southamptontownny.gov/DocumentCenter/View/317/BK-01?bidId=

On page 5 you see his name and shortly after mentions that he probably returned to Lynn by 1644. Unfortunately, nothing on his wife. Since the only settlers in Long Island, before he and his party came, were Native American, could it be that his wife can't be found because she was Native American?

Great Migration Volume IV, I-L says he and Parnell married by 1644, when their daughter, Sarah was born.

Kertland-1 and Kirtland-66 appear to represent the same person because: same wife, spelling of last name is an alternate, should be Kirtland
posted by Robin Lee
Kirkland-116 and Kirtland-66 appear to represent the same person because: correct spelling of last name is Kirtland per the great Migration documents

According to Anderson, as well as some legal documents for him I found, I believe his last name should be spelled Kirtland. Thank you.
