He was a soldier in Kent when a young man. He came to New England in April, 1634, on the same ship with Dolor Davis, his brother-in-law. He was a merchant, and began to trade with the Indians soon after he settled at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Davis, the ancestor of many distinguished Massachusetts families, settled on the adjoining farm, on the Brighton side of the Charles River. Willard Acquired a thousand acres of land, bounded by the Davis farm, the Charles River, and the Boston town line. He had many grants of land from time to time. He was one of the founders and first settlers of Concord and was the first deputy to the general court elected December, 1636, serving every year after that until 1664, excepting 1643-47-48, and was elected but declined to serve in the year 1654. He was a member of the council for fifteen years and for twenty-two years an assistant. In 1641 he was given a patent by the general court for trading with the Indians and collecting tribute from them. He was appointed magistrate and commanded the provincial troops, against the Indians. Both in military and civil life he became one of the most famous men of the province. He led the expedition against the Narragansetts in 1655 and was at Brookfield and Hadley in King Philip's War, leading the Middlesex regiment. The town of Lancaster invited him by a personal letter dated February 7, 1658-59, to make his home in that town, promising lands and privileges. He decided to locate in that town, and sold out his concord estate to Captain Thomas Marshall, of Lynn, in 1659. His first home in Lancaster was near the opening of the present Centre road, bounded on two sides by the Nashua River and commanding a fine view of the valley and surrounding country. He lived there twelve years, and in 1670-71 moved to the large farm in the south part of Groton, where in 1671-72 he served as chairman of the committee to seat the meeting house. In 1673 he was chairman of the Groton selectmen. He had a fine farm at Still River, now Harvard, and doubtless moved to Groton in order to be nearer his property. He left Lancaster when all was peace, but soon afterwards King Philip's War devastated the country.
In civil life he was a surveyor and was often called upon to fix town boundaries. He died of influenza, an epidemic of which occurred in 1676. He was one of the most conspicuous and honored men of his day, and he died at the close of King Philip's War, after reaping his greatest triumphs, April 24, 1676. He was a conscientious and stalwart Puritan, and had wealth as well as honor, giving large amounts of land to his children and leaving thirteen hundred acres besides other property. His widow petitioned the general court for reimbursement for losses in the Indian wars, stating that the Major often said that he had lost a thousand pounds in that way. The court granted a thousand acres to be divided among the six youngest children in answer to the petition. He was buried April 27, 1676, and the inventory of his estate was filed later by his widow.
