He was one of the first deacons in what is now First Presbyterian Church but which was then a Congregational Church and met at Burrville.

"He died the peaceful, joyful and happy death of the righteous." William Fellows came to Watertown village about 1803 about the time Henry Coffen, Zachariah Butterfield, Hart Massey and others came.
