In the list of 1643 he was credited with 7 persons, presumably himself, his wife and the 5 elder children, and a small estate commensurate with his future standing, which must have been based on personal worth and ability rather than on birth or inherited wealth. He was 20th to take the oath of allegiance 1 July 1644 to the new jurisdiction or Colony of New Haven. William Preston succeeded him as keeper of the pound 8 December 1645.

[Kimberly2 3-4] AK, of Wootton Burrowe, Co Gloucester, was a shoemaker and appears in the Muster Returns of 1608 as aged upwards of 50 years, hence born as early as 1558, but quite likely as early as 1550. His anme and trade suggest that he may have been the father of these Kimberleys who appear at Wootton in the next generation. Children: Abraham, Nathaniel, and Thomas
