Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -First-hand descriptions of him written between 1618 and 1622 do not remark on his youth or old age, and Salisbury has suggested that he was in his twenties or thirties when he was captured and taken to Spain in 1614. If that was the case, he would have been born around 1585 (±10 years).
Detailed explanation-2: -He returned to America in 1615 with Captain John Smith’s expedition to New England. Shortly there-after, Captain Thomas Hunt kidnapped and sold Squanto and about 30 other Indians into slavery in Spain. Squanto eventually escaped from slavery and made his way to England.
