Other portions of that legacy he sold in 1702 and 1712. Certain lands and privileges in Gloucester he sold to his son, Robert in 1712. He removed to Kittery, Maine and on 24 September 1730 sold all his property rights in Gloucester to his children as follows: to Samuel Elwell of Gloucester, fisherman; to Joseph and John Elwell of Biddeford, husbandman; to Hannah, wife of Nathaniel Duriel, and Sarah, wife of Robert Edgecomb of Biddeford.
