John Aldis was a representative to the Great and General Court of colonial Massachusetts in 1683[1] and served for 12 years on the Board of Selectmen in Dedham, Massachusetts.[1][2]
He was the only son of Nathan Aldis[1] and his wife Mary.[3] Aldis had a son also named John.[1][a]
Aldis was admitted as a townsman on January 1, 1650 – 1651.[1] He served as a constable in 1660 and in 1663 was returned to the Jury of Trials of Suffolk County.[1] In 1681, the town voted to collect all deeds and other writings and store them in a box kept by Aldis in order to better preserve them.[4] He was a deacon at the First Church and Parish in Dedham[1][4] and an ancestor of Asa O. Aldis.[5]
