He early removed to Cape Cod, and settled in that part of Yarmouth which was afterwords incorporated with Harwich, and which is now Brewster. His homestead was near the westerly border of the town, now known as West Brewster, Satucket, or Winslow's Mills. He is mentioned in the Yarmouth records as early as 1668, Harwich them being in the constablerick of Yarmouth. ... he is also styled as "Col. Winslow" in the list of freeman of Yarmouth. He is also called "planter" or "yeoman" in sundry deeds, and is a purchaser of large tracts of wild land, especially in what is now the town of Rochester on which several of his children afterwards dwelt. ...

      He m. 23 Sept. 1667, Mercy Worden, b. abt. 1641, dau. of Peter,Jr., and Mercy, or Yarmouth. She d. 22 Sept. 1688, "in the 48th year of her age," according to her gravestone, which is still standing in the Winslow burying-ground in Dennis. THe monument is of a hard slate, is said to have been brought from England, and is the oldest in the yard. The headstones of Kenelm Winslow, his two sons and many of his descendants are also to be seen."
