Between 1668 AND 1682 he was a selectman and constable.383
In his will he makes provision for the education of his children, thus early evidencing that regard for education that is so marked a family trait.
His house stood on the dividing line between Lexington and Cambridge, and is mentioned in the Act of Division.
His name, with that of his wife, appears on a petition in favor of an old woman charged with being a witch:
We, whose names are underwritten, we do here testify that Winifred Holman, we having been acquainted with her this many years, she being near neighbor unto us, and many times have had occasion to have dealings with her, and we have not indeed, in the least measure perceived, either by words or deeds, any thing whereby we could have any grounds or reason to suspect her of witchery or any thing thereunto tending. And this is evident unto us that she is diligent in her calling, and frequents public preaching, and gives diligent attention thereunto.

We, who have here subscribed our names, do testify that we have known this Winifred Holman, widow, this many years, but never knew any thing in her life concerning witchery. But she hath always been a diligent hearer of and attender to the word of God.
