- He was representative for nine sessions, between 1703 and 1717 inclusive, and served as Townsman of Farmington as the following vote shows:
"This Assembly being informed that great differences are arisen in the town of Farmington about the choice of town officers, to put an issue to such difference and that the affairs of the town may not suffer, this Assembly doth order that Mr. John Hooker, Sam Gridley, John Wadsworth, Sam Cowells and Dan Andross shall be townsmen for this present year." May Session, 1702.
At the May session of 1717, he was appointed on a committee "to audit the Colony's accounts with the Treasurer." At the same session he was chosen on a committee to investigate and report to the "Assembly in October next" the matter of the bounds between Waterbury and Wallingford. In October, 1717, the last session he attended as Representative he was chosen "to receive the bills of credit from the Treasurer, in place of Capt. Aaron Cooke dismissed." He is called Deacon in a number of the Probate Documents, even by John Hooker in an affidavit, tho' his name is not included in the printed list of Deacons. [1]
