He was a resident of Dedham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony by August 18, 1636 for on that day he was granted 12 acres of land there. He had probably moved there within the year as he was not listed as an attendee of the first town meeting, held September 1, 1635, but was for subsequent ones. The 12 acres bordered the Charles River and interestingly enough, the land of Ezekiel Holliman moved to Providence by 1637 and joined in founding the first Baptist Church in America. In November of 1637 he and three others were commissioned to fell trees for a meeting house. He was also chosen on August 28, 1638 to mow, gather up, and bring to the nearby town of Weymouth. He became a freeman on May 13, 1640. By February 8, 1660 he had become a deacon in the First Congregational Church in Weymouth. The fact that he was such an active and respected member in the church suggests that he may have come to this country for religious freedom. It may also give the reason he left Dedham. It is known that Ezekiel Holliman left Massachusetts because of its religious intolerance. Dedham may not have been to Nicholas' liking.∼Probably from Wendover, Buckinghamshire, England.
