| 3451 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Mentioned by name in father's will, for which he was the executor. 2. May also be known as Lomas or Lomys. 3. Per 12 Feb 2002 email from Dave Francis 4. Elias Loomis "Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America," update of 1875 edition published by Elisha S. Loomis, Berea, Ohio, 1908. Note - Dr. Elias Loomis died before the Supplement was published. But this third (1908) edition contains all new materials which he had collected, along with all new data collected and obtainable since his death. From Preface: 'While we have retained unbroken Dr. Elias Loomis's historical account of Joseph Loomis, his origin and his name, as set forth under the heading, Historical Data, p. 21, yet we deem it best to add such supplementary facts as have come to light since 1875, especially as touching the name Loomis. Indeed it is very doubtful if our ancestral name originated in the way Dr. Loomis surmised, as the investigations of Prof. C. A. Hoppin, Jr., hereinafter given, seem to show. That Joseph's great-grandfather died at Thaxted, Eng., in the year 1551, is now proved as evidenced by Thaxted church records. But whence came his ancestors, what was the origin of the name, and what is our right to a coat-of-arms? These queries are raised and discussed in Prof. Hoppin's scholarly report to which the reader is referred. Evidently our antecedents are not Royal, but something far better, viz., clean, God-fearing, industrious men of respect and influence - men of character and back-bone.' Proof that Joseph Loomis came from Braintree, England. - Joseph Loomis, one of the first settlers of Windsor, Conn., came from Braintree, Essex County, England, in the year 1638. This fact is established by the following document, being a deposition made July 30, 1639, by one of the passengers in the same ship with Joseph Loomis. The original, of which this is a copy, is in the possession of Mr. J. Hammond Trumbull of Hartford, Conn., President of the CT Historical Society. The following is a copy of the original draft (unsigned) of the deposition of Joseph Hills of Charlestown, taken 30th July, 1639:* 'Joseph Hills of Charlestowne, in New England, Woollen Draper**, aged about 36 yeares, sworne, saith upon his oath that he came to New England undertaker in the ship called the Susan & Ellen of London whereof was master Mr. Edward Payne, in the yeare of our Lord one thousand six hundred thirty and eight, the 14th yeare of the raigne of our Souraigne Lord the King that now is and this dpt knowes that divers goods and chattells, victualls & commodities of Joseph Loomis late of Brayntree in the County of Essex, Woolen-draper, wch were put in three butts, two hogsheds, one halfe hogshed, one barrel, one tubb & three firkins, transported from Malden in the County of Essex to London in an Ipswch Hye, were shipped in the said ship upon the eleventh day of Aprill in the yeare abovesayd, and this deponent cleared the said goods wth divers other goods of the said Joseph Loomis and other mens, in the Custome-house at London, as may appeare by the Customers bookes, and this deptsaith that the said goods were transported into New England in the said ship where she arrived on the seaventeenth day of July in the yeare aforesayd.' (Notes: *The N. E. Hist. and Gen. Reg., Vol. VIII, p. 309, contains the Will of Joseph Hills, lawyer, late of Maldon, Mass. He d. Feb. 5, 1687-8. **So designated by Savage, vol. II, p. 417.) Several of the facts stated in the preceding disposition are confirmed by other documents. The following is a document contained in a volume of Land Records preserved in the office of the Secretary of State at Hartford, Conn. It is a copy of a letter from an attorney of Braintree, Eng., dated 1651, and addressed to an acquaintance in Hartford, Conn., in which letter allusion is twice made ot Loomi. The writer of this letter (W. Lyngwood) is mentioned in the history and antiquities of the county of Essex, by Phillip Morant, London, 1768, vol. 2, p. 391. 'Cousin Clark: Since I have received your letter in March, 1650, with your letter to your brother Richard and the testimonial of your being alive, under the Governor's seal, I have proceeded against your brother and taken out a commission in chancery, to examine witnesses which I intended to have had executed about Michaelmas, etc. And now I desire only to have a good warrant and order from you testified by such of my friends there with you whose hands I know, as my cousin Loomis, cousin Cullick, John Talcott, John Steele, or some of those to whom you would have me pay the money, that I may have a good discharge and you may be sure to have the money, for I should be very sorry, after so much time, pains and money spent that either you should fail of your money, or myself of a good discharge for the ₤29, and so desiring to hear from you as speedily as you can, with my love to you, my cousin Loomis, cousin Cullick, and the rest of my cousins and friends there with you, I rest, Your very loving cousin, W. Lyngwood. Braintree, March 20, 1651. This is a true copy, Oct. 11, 1654. John Cullick.' In a manuscript by John Talcott the second (shown to me by Mr. Charles J. Hoadley of Hartford), he says: 'My uncle Mr. Mott sold my hon'd father Talcott his house that he lived in in Braintree in Old England per order in the year 1644, my father Talcott then living in this house in Hartford.' (Footnote: John Talcott of Hartford had an uncle who was born in Braintree, Eng., and went to Spain and was a merchant in Madrid. He had a cousin who died in Seville, Spain. See Talcott's Gen., p. 8.) In the will of John Talcott (made between 1655 and 1660) he mentions his kinsman John Skinner. This John Skinner was the son of John Skinner and Mary, daughter of Joseph Loomis (4). In Hotten's Lists of Emigrants from Great Britain to the American Plantations, 1600-1700, the ship Susan and Ellen, Edward Payne, Master, is said to have sailed with a load of emigrants from London to New Engalnd in May, 1635. This is the same ship, with the same master, that brought over Joseph Loomis in 1638. Again in vol. 2, Records of Particular Court for the colony of Connecticut (preserved in the office of the Secretary of State, Hartrford, Conn.), p. 116, is given an inventory of the estate of Mr. Joseph Loomis, deceased, Nov. 25, 1658, in which it is stated that there is a debt in England against Mr. Loomis's estate amounting to ₤12. 14s. 8d. The preceding documents are regarded as sufficient authority for the statement that Jospeh Loomis, who is mentioned in the records of Windsor as having bought a piece of land in that town, Feb. 2, 1640, came from Braintree, England, and landed in Boston in 1638. Children of Joseph Loomis. - Joseph Loomis had five sons and three daughters, whose marriages are recorded in the town records at Windsor, as also the births of their children, but as the date of the birth of Joseph's children is not recorded, it is difficult to determine the order of seniority. In the Records of Particular Court for the colony of CT, vol. 2, p. 115, is recorded the agreement of the children of Mr. Joseph Loomis respecting the division of the estate of said deceased, as approved by the court Dec. 2, 1658. This agreement is signed by the children in the following order: Joseph Loomis, Nicholas Olmsted, Josias Hull, John Loomis, Thomas Loomis, Nathaniel Loomis, Mary Tudor*, Samuel Loomis. (*The ages assigned to the children of Mrs. Skinner indicate that she was older than John Loomis. See 'Fem. Branch, Loomis Gen.,' Vol. I, p. 108. It is believed that the above order indicates the relative ages of the sons. This conclusion is founded upon the sentiments generally prevalent at that period with regard to the rights of seniority, and is confirmed by several circumstances. I. Since the laws of Engalnd secured to the oldest son very important privileges over his younger brothers, the position of Joseph Loomis's name in the agreemnmt above-mentioned is regarded as proving that he was the oldest son. 2. Joseph Loomis, the younger, and John Loomis had land granted to them from the Windsor Plantation in 1643. The other sons acquired no land until several years afterwards. The names of the five sons are repeatedly mentioned on the records at Windsor and Hartford, as jurors, freemen, troopers, etc., and these dates laed to the conclusion that jospeh and John were oder than the other three sons. 3. The marriages of the sons, as recorded at Windsor, took place in the order of the names mentioned above. ...Unfounded traditions. - In my numerous visits with members of the Loomis family, I have met with a considerable number of traditions respecting the first settlement in this country which are either very inaccurate or entirely erroneous. One statement(*) which I have repeatedly seen is the following: 'Joseph Loomis (then spelled Lomas), wife and Children, left Plymouth, Eng., in the ship Mary and John, March 20, 1634, and landed at or near Boston, Mass., May 30.' This statement is entirely untrue, and contains a jumble of facts and dates derived in part from the history of other settlers in Windsor. On the 20th of March, 1630, a company of 160 persons, including Rev. John Warham, afterwards the first minister of Windsor, embarked at Plymouth, Eng., in the ship Mary and John, a vessel of 400 tons burden, and landed at Nantasket, near Boston, May 30th. But it is established that Joseph Loomis and his family did not come over until 1638, and the first record which can be found of his name in CT is dated Feb. 2, 1640, when he bought a piece of land at Windsor.' Another statement, furnished me by a gentleman who has given considerable attention to the genealogy of the Loomis family, is the following: 'Some sixty years since, Dr. Wheelock, then president of Dartmouth College, N.H., received a letter from a gentleman in Leyden, Holland, stating that a Mr. Lomas had deceased at that place, leaving some property to the oldest Lomas in Windsor, Conn., and from concomitants it is believed that our family once resided in Leyden.' In July, 1857, I visited Leyden, mainly for the purpose of testing the truth of this rumor... [Explains his research and then concludes:] This evidence satisfies me that the rumor referred to is erroneous, either in respect of the place (Leyden) or the person (Lomas). I have found no evidence which indicated that Joseph Loomis of Windsor ever resided upon the continent of Europe. [The author continues for several pages explaining the statistical occurence of the surname Lomas, Lomax, etc. throughout the various English counties. He also discusses the general historical usage of the surname throughout England and the European continent. I have not copied this since it is unrelated and more modern research confirms our traceable and specific ancestry back only three generations or so in the Thaxted, Essex, area. He also discusses the Lomax coat of arms which originates sometime prior to the year 1561 with Lawrent Lomas of Lancaster Co. - which has no connection to us whatsoever.] Other [unrelated] families of the Loomis name. - Besides the descendants of Jospeh Loomis of "Windsor, there are in the United States other families known by the name of Loomis, Lummis, Lomas. Edward Lomas, born about 1606, came from London in 1635, and settled in Ipswich, Mass., as early as 1648. He had six children... That pioneer Joseph Loomis was a man of "respectable pecuniary means" is also evidenced by the fact that his name appears on the tax list of Braintree, England, for building a ship of 800 tons, to be built at Portsmouth, March 1, 1636, said ship to cost ₤8,000, the parish of Braintree being assessed ₤951-12-4 1/2. Moreover Joseph Loomis's father-in-law, Robert White, was considered a rich man for his time, and this is fully verified by his will, which see hereinafter." 5. From the article/chapter: "The Loomis Family in the Old World: An Original and Exhaustive Inquiry into the Origin of the Name and Ancestry in England of Joseph Loomis the Emigrant to New England in 1638" by Charles A. Hoppins, Jr. for "The Loomis Family of America" in the book by Elias Loomis "Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America," third (1908) edition, pp. 93-96: "It is already known, of official evidence, that the "Joseph Lummys" ("Lommys"), who resided in the town and parish of Braintree in Essex, England, left that place in the spring of the year of 1638; also, that without any appreciable delay thereafter, he became a passenger of record in a vessel of goodly register, known as the "Susan and Ellen," and that this vessel did depart on the eleventh day in the month of April, of that year, from the port of London, bound for Boston in New England, carrying quite a number of other voyagers with their personal properties. In this connection it is the writer's duty to deal with facts that have not been made manifest hitherto - with respect to the scenes and circumstances amid which he lived; and as well, to the elements contributing chiefly to his taking leave of England. Thereunto let attention first be directed to the ways and the means by which Joseph Lummys, with his family and worldly goods, had "come up to London" from Braintree. By the sworn deposition, or affidavit, of one Joseph Hills of Charlestown, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony (see herein page 21), made thereat on the 30th day of July, 1639, he, (Hills) being the "undertaker" - the manager or promoter of this particular vessel, voyage or emigration - it is learned that the various parcels embracing the goods of Joseph Loomis (we shall principally refer to him as Loomis hereinafter) were "transported from Malden, in the county of Essex, to London, in an Ipswich hye." This place of "Malden" being Maldon, the Essex port, and an "Ipswich hye" meaning a smart craft of small size and especially engaged, we may retrace the journey of the said Loomis, his family and friends, from London, viz: down the Thames, up the Essex coast, across the Maplin and Foulness Sands, into the wide and long reach of the mouth of the river Blackwater, and continuing thence up the river some ten miles, and so, back to Maldon. This small port was one through which there long had passed commerce and people between England and the Continent. That Joseph Loomis and family attended personally the transportation, from Maldon in this hye, of their eleven separate and varying pieces of baggage and "divers other goods," which the above-noted deposition recounts, may well be believed. The inland Blackwater river, though but a very small stream of only a few feet in width, reaches northwestward from Maldon, to and past "Six Bells Corner" in the end of Bocking parish, by Braintree. But by so devious a route does it flow, that Joseph Loomis, in his journey seaward, only followed it in its lower half, viz: from Witham to Maldon. The "River Brain," - a mere brook - lightly slips down direct from the southern slope of Braintree to Witham, there uniting with the Blackwater. So it was that the emigrants came out of Braintree by the pleasant highway, paralleling the Brain. They passed through Black Notley, White Notley and Faulkbourne, - all sparse hamlets strung along the gently undulating road, above the stream, yet each little settlement with its handy inn. Thus was reached Witham, then on the great Roman road between London and the northeast. Thence out of Witham, they followed the course of the Blackwater by Wickham Place, through Langford and Heybridge to Maldon. Some fifteen miles in all from Braintree it was, and over a favorite route for bicyclists nowadays. Alternating copses and fields, freshly furrowed for the seed-sowing, marked the way between the snug hamlets and the occasional houses plastered in white or yellow beneath their low-browed roofs of thatch. Some of these houses still exist along the way, and pretty much the same sort of people as of yore still abide in them. This longest way around, of 100 miles to London, may have been both an easier and a quicker progress than by the forty miles of the shortest highway thereto, by the way of Chelmsford. It should have been less costly a journey than that which necessitated frequent stops at taverns for rest and refreshment. Very well-ordered seems to have been the Loomis's departure. Many a stop was made at gate and door, in those familiar fifteen miles, to give and receive blessings and farewells - the last of earth - repeating what had but just happened in Braintree church and market-place. Braintree scarce could afford to lose such a citizen as Joseph Loomis; but America needed him more, and he knew it. Just that same need was exactly why he went away. Verily, it was not merely religion, not all prospect of gain, not great dissatisfaction with home, - not any one of these things that chiefly moved him to arise and go to set himself down three thousand miles from the ease of home. Broader than any of these causes was the reason. To help found a new country, with fairer laws and wider liberties, where the ordinary man might be more supreme - that was the Great Idea that possessed him, and many others. As of the non-conformist faction out of the church of England they wanted to dominate the church at home, which power they could not quite attain to there. But deeper than that desire in the breast of Joseph Loomis was the spirit that moved him. He felt himself equal to the task that other men had set. The challenge of their example stirred him. The appeal of Opportunity decided him. It convinced his mind that he was one of "the chosen" for the Great Purpose. And the apparently unlimited possibilities, to him and his, of the natural resources of an unclaimed land, hovered in his imagination."He had all the money that he would require to pleasantly establish his family in America. Let us dismiss, as being insufficient, the idea of "a band of Christians fleeing from persecution" - save with respect to the Mayflower's Pilgrims mostly. To the so-called Puritan settlers, the comforts of religion were vastly more of a necessity and more relished in the New than they had been to them in the Old England. Daily spiritual refreshment kept them to their hard tasks, soothed the longing for a return to the beautiful land they had forsaken, and, in fact, the church was the keystone that held up the arch of the early colonization. 'John Lummys,' the father, and tailor, is shown by his will, dated 1619, to have been a tradesman and real-estate holder in comfortable circumstances, and a citizen of esteem in the church and community. His son Joseph advanced the fortune of the family. Contemplating his means and position in England, and his situation in America, it seems entirely fair to say that he was a prosperous man in England, and of the better class of settlers in New England. Long it has been seen that he was independent in Windsor - and particularly so as to the location of his estate there... Joseph Loomis was not one of these unfortunate yet ambitious farmers. His wife was the daughter of a man considered as very well-to-do in that time and region; a man whose testamentary bequests of money alone were upwards of fourteen thousand dollars (present reckoning). Loomis is known to have been a woolen draper, a merchant engaged in the purchase of cloth from the many weavers who wove on hand-looms in their cottage-homes. He had a store in Braintree stocked therewith and with other goods which a "draper" dealt in. These products, he sold at large, both wholesale and retail, to tailors and consumers in general: Braintree and nearby towns were centres of cloth manufacture..." Not driven out of England, not forsaking duties or obligations there, not an enthusiast or Puritanical extremist in religion was Joseph Loomis. He came to America on general principles, after long deliberation. As a practical business man of the world his decision so to do, it will be now agreed, was the apotheosis of wisdom. A study of his life in America prys up no indication that he regretted his transplantation, as did many other settlers, with cause..." 6. From the Rootsweb site of Sue Biedlingmaier at sueb@provide.net. The following information was taken from the website "http://www.loomis.8k.com/": The Loomis family has been a part of the fabric of American History from this country's very beginnings. Coming to the shores of the New World landing at Boston Harbor in 1638, just eight years after the founding of Boston, Joseph Loomis brought his family seeking a new life and hoped for prosperity. From here the family wintered in Dorchester, Massachusetts and in 1639 traveled overland to the Connecticut Valley, where Joseph established his homestead at Windsor, overlooking the great Connecticut River near the mouth of the Farmington River. Today, the original Joseph Loomis homestead still stands and is part of the Loomis family heritage carried on by The Loomis Chaffee School for boys and girls. From here, the family continued to be pioneer's in America's history, Inventors, Entrepreneurs, mathematics, philosophy, art, business, there is hardly a profession that a Loomis descendant has not put a stamp on. And the land, forging the Oregon Trail, mining the gold fields of the Yukon, where there are new opportunities, a Loomis is sure to go! The following was taken from the website www.loomis.org . 'This is the history of the school, the Loomis Chaffee School, which was named after Joseph's descendants. The Story of the School: Our roots are deep, running as far back as 1639, when Joseph Loomis and his family first settled at the confluence of the Farmington and Connecticut rivers. Several generations later, the inspiration for our school was born out of family tragedy, when, in the early 1870s, four Loomis brothers and their sister had outlived all their children. As a memorial to their own offspring, and as a gift to future Children, they pooled their considerable estates to found a secondary school. The original 1640 Loomis homestead was chosen as the site where their dream would become reality. James Chaffee Loomis, Hezekiah Bradley Loomis, Osbert Burr Loomis, John Mason Loomis and Abigail Sarah Loomis Hayden broke new educational ground by planning a school that would offer both vocational and college preparatory courses. (Vocational offerings were discontinued during the later development of the school.) The founders' enlightened and democratic school would have no religious or political admission criteria. And boys and girls would be given as free an education as the endowment would allow. As The Loomis Institute, we opened our doors in 1914 to 39 boys and five girls. In 1926, our girls' division broke off to focus more closely on girls' educational issues and became The Chaffee School. Both schools continued to expand. The Loomis Institute built several new facilities in 1967, and the two schools reunited in 1970, forming The Chaffee School. Six years later we began admitting girls as boarders. Our reunification led to a major revision of our curriculum. The new curriculum combines a demanding basic program with a broad range of electives in art, music, philosophy, religion and other subjects. We have enjoyed a period of unprecedented growth since the 1970s. We strengthened our endowment to bolster financial aid. We broadened the diversity of our student body. We built dormitories, an enclosed hockey and skating rink, a visual arts center and a new school center. We invite you to join us as we continue our educational tradition of excellence imagined over a century ago in the hearts and minds of our five founders.'" 7. The following Loomis info. came from Jane Devlin (janedevlin@ameritech.net) at her web site at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/source_files/loomis.htm: Joseph Loomis, son of John Loomis and Agnes Lingwood, was born on 24 Aug 1590 in Braintree, Essex, Eng1 and died on 25 Nov 1658 in Windsor, Hartford Co., CT.

The book "The Descendants of Joseph Loomis (1590-1658) in America," author Elias Loomis, published 1909 Call Number CS71.L863: "From our Ancestors come our Names, But from our Virtues our Honors." Joseph LOOMIS, son of John and Agnes Loomis, was probably born before 1590, England; married in Messing, Co. Essex, England, June 30, 1614, Mary White, bap. Aug. 24, 1590, (See N. E. H. and G. Register, Vol. 55, pp. 28-29, for copy of Register of Shalford, England, marriages and baptisms), d. Windsor, Aug. 23, 1652. Mary White was a daughter of Robert and Bridget (Allgar) White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, who were married June 24, 1585. Joseph Loomis was a woolen-draper in Braintree, Essex county, England; sailed from London April 11, 1638, in the ship "Susan and Ellen," and arrived at Boston July 17, 1638, tarrying about 1 year at Dorchester, Mass., it is thought. It is mentioned in the town records of Windsor, Vol. 1, that on the 2nd of Feb., 1640, he had granted him from the plantation 21 acres adjoining Farmington river, on the west side of the Connecticut river, this 21 acres including the site of the first English settlement made in Conn.; (See Records of Abigail Wolcott Ellsworth Chapter, D. A. R.), also several large tracts of land on the east side of the Connecticut, partly from the town and partly by purchase. He therefore probably came to Windsor in the summer or autumn of 1639, and he is generally supposed to have come in company with Rev. Ephraim Huet, who arrived at Windsor, Aug. 17, 1639. He brought with him five sons, all of whom were freemen, Oct. 7, 1669, and three daughters. His house was situated near the mouth of the Farmington river on "The Island," so called because at every great freshet it became temporarily an island by the overflowing of the Connecticut River. He died Nov. 25, 1658, as appears from the following record: Abstract of the Disposition of the Estate of Joseph Loomis, Windsor, Connecticut. Found in Original Records, Vol. 2, page 115-116, and in the printed Digest of Manwaring, Vol. I, page 135. He died Nov. 25, 1658. Inv't. L178-10-00. Taken by Henry Clark, John Moore. Ct.

This agreement of the children of Mr. Joseph Loomis respecting the division of the Estate of ye father deceased, approved by the Court 2 Dec. 1658: We whose names are hereunto subscribd doe by these presents testify that it is our mutual and joynt agreement to attend an equal division of the Estate of Mr. Joseph Loomis, Our father, lately deceased, wch said estate being distributed in the equal prption we doe by these presents engage to set down Satisfied and Contented respecting any future trouble or demands about the foresaid estate now presented by Inventory to ye Court of Magistrates. Witness our hand, 2nd December, 1658. Joseph Loomis, Josiah Hull, Thomas Loomis, Mary Tudor, Nicholas Olmsted, John Loomis, Nathaniel Loomis, Samuel Loomis. That pioneer Joseph Loomis spelled his name Lomas is conclusively proven by the rare document of which the insert opposite is a photographic copy. Notice, this signature occurred 6 yrs. before his death. This being his own writing it seems as though he held, in his riper years, that it should be written Lomas and not Loomis." 9. Henry R.

The original Loomis ancestral home has been in perpetual possession of his descendants, coming down in an unbroken regular succession. It is part of the Loomis Institute in Windsor.

II, Chapter 27 "Early Windsor Families," p. 554: "Joseph Loomis (1640) had a lot granted to him 35 rods wide. He had two children born here. He died, 1658. (This lot is now occupied by Thomas W. Loomis.) Of the sons, Joseph married Sarah Hill, 1645, and had two sons and two daughters. He married second, Mary Chauncey in 1659, and had five sons and two daughters. By gift of his father in 1643 he received a lot twelve rods wide, next north of Matthew Allen, on which he built. John married Elizabeth Scott, and had eleven sons and two daughters. He had his father's homestead. Thomas married Hannah Fox, 1653, and had two sons and two daughters. He married for a second wife Mary Judd, and two sons and five daughters. By gift of his father he received a lot twelve rods wide, east of the highway, between his brother Joseph and H. Wolcott, Jr. Nathaniel married Elizabeth Moore, and had seven sons and five daughters, 1655-1680. He bought the lot and house of John Moses on the west side of the street, directly opposite Joseph Loomis, Jr. Nathaniel was among the early settlers on the east side of the Great River. Samuel had two sons and three daughters, 1660-1670. He bought Mr. Witchfield's place. He removed to Westfield, Mass." 13. The book "Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America," by Elias Loomis, Berea, Ohio, third (1908) edition, pp. 100-108: A. In describing Braintree and Joseph's association with John Hawkins: "Above all there is one fine old house remaining which has very particular interest to the American Loomises. This is the house that was occupied by John Hawkins who, when about to die in 1633, has Joseph Loomis visit him to witness his will. As this will pays to Joseph Loomis the tribute of the words 'my loving friend and neighbor,' it now may be well believed that Joseph Loomis was more than just this friend and neighbor in Braintree. The proof that he was eminently prosperous man, and an intelligent one, enjoying social privileges of distinction, locally, is here had in plenty to our view - for who was this John Hawkins? He was no less than a Braintree man, who had risen to commerical eminence and wealth in London, becoming a dignitary of the Grocers' Company there, (then 300 years old); and he was made an Alderman of the city of London in 1626. This office was then of more significance than it is today in America. The house of John Hawkins now faces 'Great Square'... The house of Hawkins stands on the upper side of the market-square, facing west. Some of the property of John Lummys, as his will shows, stood 'near the market-cross.' This cross is just below the Hawkins house on the south..." [The author describes the area in great detail with the view in mind that Joseph's home was probably in near proximity.] B. Results of the search into various local records: "Braintree was a part of the Duchy of Lancaster; part of these personal possessions of the sovereign, in Essex, were held of the crown as the Honor of Clare, by the family seated principally at Clare Castle in the County of Suffolk. A search of the Court Rolls of the Honor of Clare now filed with the Records of the Duchy of Lancaster, in London, has not resulted favorably. The 'Book of Reliefs and Fines,' number 124,862, from 1377 to 1742, made up from various records remaining in Clare Castle and the Duchy office, does not contain the name of Lomas in any form, which seems peculiar, since every person upon first entering into the occupancy of a building, for the purpose of residence or of business, became subject to a 'fine', or tax. This book is fragmentary, in the earlier portion, and also may be from 1600 to 1638, as seems evident. Court Roll 123-1860 (5 Nov 1591 to 1605) for Braintree names no Lomas, which omission may be taken to indicate that John Lummys, father of Joseph, may have been within this period, in the employ of another man and resident upon that man's premises. The court Rolls of the Duchy, numbers 123-1860, and 123-1861 for Braintree, give no Lomas evidence... Feet of Fines, the governmental records of the final agreements between querants and deforciants (buyers and sellers) of real estate, have been searched for the entiere period of residence of the Lomas family in Essex; there is no such record of such Loomis ownership. The lands, houses, business premises, etc., in their occupaition were principally held by them (with the possible exception of the house of John Lummmys in Thaxted, grandfather of Joseph Loomis), under conditions similar to those of their neighbors, i.e. - by lease for life, of for the period of several lives, or for a lesser term of years, or by yearly rental. They owned the right of occupancy, and could bequeath this right by will; the land and buldings were held by the lord of the manor to whose court let they, the lessees and tenants were subject, and the lord, in turn, paid a yearly revenue into the Honor of Clare or the Duchy of Lancaster therefor, the first title to the property being vested in the crown. The Lay Subsidy records in the Record Office, London, which yielded vital results in Lancashire, as has been seen, also favor us a little in Braintree. The first mention in these national taxes of a Lomas occurs in roll number 112-626 for the third and fourth years of Charles I (1628-29). This roll is an assessment upon the taxable inhabitants of the whole Hundred of Hinckford in which Braintree is embraced; the membranes composing this roll are in a fine condition. The subsidy was levied upon goods ('stock in trade') as follows: 'Brantry. John Hawkins gent., viii li - xxi s iiii d. Brantry. Wm. Lingwood gent., iii li - viii s. Brantry. Josiph Lomys, iii li - viii s.' Subsidy Roll number 112-630 is headed: - 'Payment of the two first subsidies of five entire subsidies granted from the Temporalty by Act of Parliament holden at Westminster 4 Chas. I.' (1624); and gives: Braintree 'Goodes,' Joseph Lomays iii li viii's - - viii's. John Hawkins vi li Xvi's (xvi's)' These are the only subsidy rolls now remaining bearing the name of Loomis before 1640; John Lummys may have been similarly taxed, and the roll therefore be now missing; the above items are scant, but brief as they may seem, the figures are eloquent. First it is seen that Joseph Loomis was thoroughly established as a merchant in 1628 in Braintree, and doubltless has so stood for some years before; second, we see herein that the taxable value of his goods - in comparison with those of his friend, the wealthy John Hawkins, (probably then the richest merchant in Braintree), was as large as one-half; also that he was estimated exactly the same as his relative, Wm. Lingwood, whose means and position (inherited) gave to him the rank of gentleman. Loomis doubtless inherited little, and as for the affix 'gent,' he assumed nothing, as became such a sensible Christian man. The tax paid in 1629 was eight shillings. ₤3:8:0 in (taxable) goods nowadays seems trifling; but to the assessors of 1629 and to their owner, this sum meant over $150.00, which was a highly respectable showing for a Braintree merchant of that time. The sum represented a formidable pile of 'Bays, Says and Perpetuanos.' Pennies went as far then as dollars do now; everything was then on a small scale. To an American even the business of the Braintree of today would appear as 'upon a small scale.' By ten years later than 1628 our venturesome ancestor, with due care, could have easily accumulated the fair estate with which he embarked for America. Joseph Loomis also paid the ship money tax, an act of special legistlation. The account of the assessments of this tax is headed: - 'An account of the money raised in the County of Essex for the setting out of a Ship of eight hundred Tunne appointed by his Maiesties writt to be ready at Portsmouth on the first of March 1636. 'In which the Several Summes imployed by the Sheriffe upon the inhabitants and the rates of the Whole County are particularly expressed according to an order made by his Maiestie at the Councell Board the 23th of Aprill Last Upon occasion of a complaint then exhibited against the proceedings of the Sheriffe in that business. The whole charge being eight thousand pounds'... 'Brayntree.' 'Joseph Loomis, ₤00 9s 4d.' This assessment was the one which caused such an uproar. John Hampden refused to pay and fought the measure in Parliament. This item, and the will of John Loomis are the only known instance of the name being spelled 'Loomis' in England, and the former is, undoubtedly, the last existing record of Joseph Loomis in England." C: On Joseph's possible widespread business: "The Braintree men, through their business abroad, had opportunities to look out upon a world that was wider than their own shire. London was doubtless no strange city to Joseph Loomis. There he must have gone both to sell and to buy. As a wholesale cloth merchant he may have visited the continent, - even Spain and Portugal, since it was that the Braintree-Bocking cloth was largely sold in those countries. Non-conformity developed with Braintree's commercial growth. Both features seem to have started together. [The author continues with a lengthy history over several pages of religious dissension in the Essex county area, which even though no specific mention is made of Loomis involvement, there may have been influence upon them.] ...Conditions continuing contentious, without improvement for the reformers, and discouragement at the growing power of Bishop Laud, alll contributed to the cause of the emigration of the so-called 'Braintree Company' in 1632, a year after Collins's letter. Laud's accession to the Archbishopric in 1633 made the situaltion in Braintree still less agreeable for those who did not leave with the first voyagers. These people followed, from time to time, in small groups. Joseph Loomis doubtless felt some force of the threat, that 'they who make innovations in religion are enemies of the Kingdom.' Business became affected by religious controversy. War was about to quite upset commerce and manufacturing altogether. Joseph needed not much foresight to see that the prospects at home were unfavorable. Several things conttributed to his decision to join his kin in New England..." 14.

NEHGS Register, Vol. 55, pages 22-31, 1901, see notes of Robert White for full transcript of article from which the following partial excerpt is taken: "The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant. Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield... According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born. It is believed that three of his daughters came with their husbands to New England, namely: Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree; Elizabeth White, wife of William Goodwin of Bocking; and Anna White, wife of John Porter of Felsted. Matthew Grant's Old Church Record (in Stiles's Ancient Windsor) records the death in 1647 of "John Porter, Sen's wife," and also the death in 1652 of "Joseph Loomis, Sen. his wife." This is valuable information, but it would have been more satisfactory had the record contained the Christian names of these wives. Nor does the entry in the Windsor Town Records of the birth of John Porter's two children, Nathaniel in 1640 and Hanna in 1642, give the mother's name. In the same town records is this entry: "John Porter, Sr., came from England and settled in Windsor in 1639." Mr. Porter was present as a member of the "Committee" of the General Court in Hartford, August 8th, 1639. He died in Windsor 21st April, 1648, leaving a will, an abstract of which is hereinafter given, and it is to be noticed that two of the beloved friends made supervisors of his will were "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford and Goodman White of Hartford." In the Loomis Genealogy, pages 9-11, evidence is given proving that Joseph Loomis, of Braintree in England, came to Boston in 1638, and settled in Windsor in 1639. It is believed that this Joseph Loomis is the Joseph Loomis whose marriage, June 30th, 1614, to Mary White, is recorded in the Parish Register of Shalford, and this theory is supported by the bequest in 1617 of Robert White to my "daughter Marie, the wife of Joseph Lummis of Brantree." The home lots of Joseph Loomis and John Porter in Windsor were adjacent, and these two sisters, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, began in 1639 new homes side by side, in which they lived the rest of their days. Three years before, in 1636, their brother John White, and their sister Elizabeth (White) Goodwin, had settled in Hartford... It is very plausibly supposed that the John White who came over in the "Lion" in 1632 and settled first in Newtown, now Cambridge, in Massachusetts, and then came with the Rev. Thomas Hooker and his church to Hartford in 1636, was the son of Robert White of Messing. The record of his baptism has not been found. He was not of age in 1617, when his father made his will, in which it was provided that if should marry without the approbation and consent of his mother, and of Joseph Loomis of Braintree and William Goodwin of Bocking, his legacy of 200 pounds should be reduced to 100 pounds. In the list of thirty-three passengers of the "Lion," given in Drake's Founders of New England, page 12, his name follows next after the name of William Goodwin. [Footnote included after the work "Lion": "We know the name of the vessel from Gov. Winthrop's Hist. N.E., vol. I, p. 107."] His wife's name was Mary, as appears from an unexecuted lease in the handwriting of his son Nathaniel White (now in the possession of one of his descendants), dated March 28, 1666, the lessors being John White and Mary his wife, the lessee their son Nathaniel; the premises, his house and garden, etc., in Hartford, reserving the use of two rooms therein for the term of the lives of said John and Mary, and of the longest liver, whether said John or said Mary... It deserves to be mentioned that family genealogies have been printed of all the members of Robert White's family who are known to have emigrated to New England, namely: Elder John White and his descendants, in 1860.

Swigart (Baltimore; 1994), pp. 351-53: "Joseph1 LOOMIS (JohnA LUMACE, JohnB LUMMYS, Thomas C) was born by 1590, perhaps in Braintree, county Lincoln, England, and died 25 November 1658 at Windsor, CT. He was the son of JohnA LUMACE, a tailor of Thaxted and Braintree and AgnesA LINGWOOD, daughter of JOHN8 LINGWOOD and JaneA MarLAN?, daughter of WilliamB and MargaretA (PERYE) MarLAN? of Braintree. He was also the grandson of JOHN8 LUMMYS, a carpenter of Thaxted, and Kryster (Christian (___). Joseph1 married 30 June 1616 at Messing, county Essex, England, Mary1 WHITE, daughter of Robert", a wealthy yeoman, and BRIDGETA.(ALLGAR) WHITE of Shalford, county Essex. Mary1 was baptized 24 August 1590 at Shalford and died 23 August 1652 at Windsor. Mary1's younger sister, Anna1, married ancestor JOHN1 Porter. United States Presidents Ulysses Simpson Grant (18th Chief Executive), Stephen Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th), and Gerald Rudolph Ford, (38th), were descendants of Mary1'S parents and Millard Fillmore (13th President), of her and her parents." Joseph1 was a woolen draper. He and his wife lived in Braintree until 1628. They moved to London and from there sailed with their eight children 11 April 1638 aboard the "Susan and Ellen"... The LOOMIS family arrived in Boston 17 July 1638. They may have spent their first year in Dorchester, MA, but moved by land in the summer of 1639 to Windsor, CT, "Probably in the company with the Reverend Ephraim Huet who arrived there August 17, 1639" (ref. 3). "On 2 Feb. 1640 he had granted to him 21 acres on the west side of the Connecticut River adjoining the Farmington River" (ref. 6). Joseph1 continued to acquire land and served on juries in 1642 and in 1644 with Nathaniel1 Foote... On 6 January 1650, he was sued ... "for trespass and for damage to the extent of seven bushels of corn; one may infer that his stock got away from him (ref. 3). Joseph1 apparently left no will. His estate was valued at 178 pounds 10 shillings, with a "debt in England" (ref. 3) of 12 pounds 14 shillings 8 pence against it. On 2 December 1658, his wife having predeceased him, his five sons and three daughters (two represented by their husbands) signed an agreement in place of a will to divide Joseph 'S estate equitably among them. The children of Joseph1 and Mary1 (WHITE) LOOMIS, all probably born in Braintree, county Lancaster, England, and probably not all listed in the correct order of birth, were: 1.

He is supposed to have come to Windsor, Conn. in company with Rev. Ephraim Huit, who arrived there Aug. 11, 1639. Feb. 2, 1640, he was granted twenty-one acres of land adjoining the Farmington River, and his house was on what was known as "the Island" because at every freshet it became temporarily an island. Stiles says "this Ancestral Home" has been in perpetual possession of his descendants coming down in an unbroken regular accession to Epaphras Loomis, who sold it to Rev. George Loomis, who in turn sold it to John Mason Loomis. He served twice on the jury of the Particular Court, March 2, 1642-3 and September, 1644. (Col. Rec. of Conn., I, pp. 81, 110; The Loomis Family, by Elias Loomis; Conn. Genealogies, p. 508; Savage, 3, p. 112.)" 18. The book "Dorset Pilgrims," 1989: pp. 144-5: "The minority who arrived upriver direct from England consisted of two groups … The [second] group came in 1638 in the company of the Rev. Ephraim Huitt, John Warham's new teaching colleague of Windsor church … He and his family brought with them a party consisting of Warwickshire neighbours like Edward Griswold; Joseph Loomis and John Porter from Essex..." p. 180: In a section of the book in which the Reverend Warham meditates upon the past year of 1658 in Windsor: "indeed he had only taken one burial service that whole year and that was for old Joseph Loomis who lived to a ripe age. The previous year there had been nine deaths..." pp. 200-1: Among the [horse] troopers [organized in 1658] … there were only two brothers. Thomas and Nathaniel Loomis were the sons of Joseph Loomis who … came from East Anglia; he and his family of five sons probably came from the Huitt party in 1638. He was a man of substance, receiving from the plantation grants valued at ₤which placed him among the most wealthy which placed him among the most wealthy. His large home lot of 26 acres was prominent on the Island next to old Henry Wolcott on the Rivulet bank of Plymouth Meadow. He did not, however, play any notable role in Windsor's affairs nor indeed, with one exception, did his sons, save that three of them served as town constable. The exception was the second son, John, who was a townsman and a deputy and, with a family of thirteen children, inherited his father's homestead. His true importance was as a deacon of Windsor church, an office which he exercised with authority for many years. Neither of our troopers, Thomas and Nathaniel, achieved distinction, though they lived respectably and comfortably, Thomas with four and Nathaniel with twelve children. Nathaniel married deacon Moore's daughter. This marriage, together with that of his brother Joseph to Mary Chauncey, daughter of Warham's successor as minister, and brother John's becoming a deacon, were to bring the family well within the ambit of church dignity and influence." 19. The book "Colonial Ancestors. Four lineal genealogies of eastern Connecticut families…," by Bernice Andrews (Livingston) Rieg (Camden, Maine; Penobscot Press, 1991), pp. 183-87 [Note: I neglected to copy the source list.]: "Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1] Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2] Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3] A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut. In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6] The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles. Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: N | Loomis, Joseph (I1919)

He left a wife Agnes, an only son Joseph, and four daughter all married, viz: Ann Warr, Sarah Burton, Elizabeth wife of William Preston, and Jane Pengelly... There is reason to think that some of the other children and grandchildren of John Loomis of Braintree emigrated to New England. Among the passengers of the Truelove from London to New England, 19 Sep 1635, were the following persons: William Preston. ae. 44; Marie Preston, ae. 34; Elizabeth Preston, ae. 11; Sara Preston, ae. 8; Marie Preston, ae. 6, and John Peston, ae. Also Edward Preston, ae. 13, came over in the Christian, 16 Mar 1634, and Daniel Preston, ae. 13, came over in the Elizabeth & Ann, 27 Apr 1635. Mr. Savage thinks that both of these boys were sons of the William Preston before mentioned and were sent out to prepare for the rest of the family who were soon to follow. In Cothren's 'History of Woodbury,' vol. I, p. 663, it is sated that William Preston removed to New Haven, Conn., and signed the fundamental agreement of 4 Jan 1639, and that he had four children born in New Haven. In his will, dated 9 Jul 1647, he speaks of children of the first and second wife. Hence we conclude that the Mary Preston, ae. 34, who came with him from England was his second wife, and we may infer that his first wife was Sarah Loomis from whom his daughter Sarah was named. It is said that he possessed real estate in Yorkshire, Eng., which he inherited from his father. This does not appear to me to prove that he did not marry the daughter of John Loomis of Braintree, for I think it probable that John Loomis came from the vicinity of Manchester. John Pengelly was made freeman at Ipswich in 1678 and removed to Springfield, Ms., that year, living in that part now called Suffield, Ct. He was living in 1728. This could not have been the husband of Jane (Loomis) Pengelly, but may have been her son. Several persons of the name of Burton came over to new England before 1638. Boniface Burton is mentioned at Lynn in 1630; Edward Burton at Charlestown in 1633, and John Burton at Salem in 1637. In the New England Historical Register, vol. 8, p. 165, it is stated that the will of Abraham Warr is mentioned in Ipswich in 1654 and he had a daughter Sarah. It is remarkable that the names of the four sons-in-law of John Loomis should be found among the first settlers of New England, especially since two of the names (Warr and Pengelly) seldom occur in this country. We may hence infer that probably some of the other descendants of John Loomis of Braintree, besides his son Joseph and his family, emigrated to new England before the year 1640." | Loomis, Jane (I2379)

When we took the picture of grandpa Frank's house, the owner Mr. Chournos came out and invited us to go thru the whole house and see all the changes he made in it. He has lived there for 37 years. He has taken real good care of it and Dad was real pleased. He also found a lot of dad's toys over the years: marbles and little cars. He gave us a Christmas card that was sent to your grandmother Irene in December 1945 from her friend, still in the original envelope. He also made changes on the front entrance on the peak above the front door. He is getting ready to change the front door soon as it is pretty rotten. Grandma Irene had made a curtain for that door and he still had it and he gave it to us. Still in good condition." BIRTH: 1.

| 3466 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Mentioned in brother's will per miscellaneous comments from Worldconnect accessed 14 Feb 2010: "Richard was living in Foster's Meadow, LI before 1658. He left a will recorded at Jamacia Deeds A-137 dated April 16, 1699 and proved May 18, 1699. Wife Mary, sole exec. 2 brothers, Nathaniel Denton and John Foster overseers of the children." 2. The periodical "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," 120[1989]:10-17, 94-97, 160-163; 121[1990]:221-225, etc., "Descendants of the Rev. Richard Denton," by Walter C. Krumm. I have divided up this article and included each generation with the individual detailed (see notes of Rev. Richard Denton for summary of all other publications and researchers prior to this publication): Richard3 Denton (Nathaniel2, Rev. Richard1) was born say 1658 in Jamaica, Long Island. He first appears in 1682 as a witness on a bill of sale signed by his father as town clerk (JTR 1:216), a possible indication that he was of age. Richard married say 1686 Mary Thurston of Jamaica, Long Island, daughter of Joseph Thurston and his wife Ann (___), widow of Thomas Foster (see 1697 deed from Thomas Foster [Jr.] to heirs of Joseph Thurston, JTR 2:248). Richard is the son who left Jamaica to settle in the Foster's Meadow section of Hempstead, probably at the time of his marriage. The 1683 "Towne Estate" list of Jamaica shows Richard as 1 "head" owning 2 horses, with an estate value of £42 (DHNY 1:521). On 2 February 1688/9 he is identified as "of Hempstead" when his father gave him acreage in Jamaica (JTR 1:317-8). Within a month Richard sold this "inheritance" to his brothers (JTR 3:318-9). Later that same year he was appointed a member of the New York. Committee of Safety, which attempted to govern the province in the Protestant interest following the departure of the Catholic Governor Dongan (DHNY 2:11, 24). In the 1690s he sold off other Jamaica property he owned, including land he obtained from the above-mentioned Thomas Foster [Jr.] of Mullmouth River, Salem County, New Jersey, a half-brother of his wife (JTR 2:42, 48-9). Richard and his brother Samuel both died in May 1699; Richard's will was drawn on 16 April and proved on 18 May (QCDW A:137, REC. 65:248). Regrettably the will is general in its provisions, leaving the estate in the hands of his wife Mary "that now is" [possibly indicating a second marriage?] until the children, listed only as "sons and daughters," came of age. Overseers of the children until that time were "brothers" Nathaniel Denton of Jamaica and John Foster [husband to his sister Phebe]. Children of Richard Denton, presumably all by Mary (Thurston), all probably born in Hempstead, Long Island (names from 1698 census, REC. 45:65): i. Richard4, Jr., b. say 1687. ii. Mary, b. say 1689; no record after 1698. iii. Sarah, b. say 1691; m. say 1718 to John Wheeler of Hartford, Conn., and moved there. Inventory of John Wheeler taken 21 Jan. 1724/5, after administration of his estate granted to his widow Sarah and her brother Benjamin Denton of Farmington on the previous day (Charles W. Manwaring, comp., "A Digest of Early Connecticut Probate Records," 2[1904]:611). Sarah d. 17 Nov. 1763, bur. Center Church, Hartford. There is no marriage date, but the first child was b. 10 Mar. 1719 [=1718/19] (Lucius B. Barbour, "Families of Early Hartford, Connecticut," 1977, p. 670). iv. Joseph, b. say 1693. v. Hannah, b. say 1695; no record after 1698. vi. Benjamin, b. say 1697." | Thurston, Mary (I2961)

| 3469 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Mentioned in brother-in-law's will per miscellaneous comments from Worldconnect accessed 14 Feb 2010: "Richard was living in Foster's Meadow, LI before 1658. He left a will recorded at Jamacia Deeds A-137 dated April 16, 1699 and proved May 18, 1699. Wife Mary, sole exec. 2 brothers, Nathaniel Denton and John Foster overseers of the children." 2. The periodical "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," 120[1989]:10-17, 94-97, 160-163; 121[1990]:221-225, etc., "Descendants of the Rev. Richard Denton," by Walter C. Krumm. I have divided up this article and included each generation with the individual detailed (see notes of Rev. Richard Denton for summary of all other publications and researchers prior to this publication): "Nathaniel2 Denton (Richard1), born (at least baptised) at Turton, Bolton Priory, Lancashire in early 1629, died Jamaica, Long Island in 1690 before 18 October (JTR 2:317-8). As the eldest son he probably married by 1653 in Hempstead, Long Island to a bride identified in 1664 and 1689 records only as Sarah (BDC 73 and JTR 1:316, 319). Combes added a last name of "Smith," citing the will of Nathaniel3, Jr., who referred to one "Nathaniel Smith" as his "cousin." Solid evidence is lacking for this conjecture, and there may be another explanation for Nathaniel, Jr.'s reference... Nathaniel's three sons can be identified from the land grants he made to them while he lived (e.g., JTR 2:272-3, 315-9); he also had one and possibly two daughters. Their birthdates and chronological order remain uncertain. Children of Nathaniel and Sarah (___) Denton, all born in either Hempstead (pre-1656) or Jamaica, Long Island: i. Nathaniel3, b. say 1653. ii. Samuel, b. say 1655. iii. Richard, b. say 1658. iv. Phebe, b. say 1662, m. John Foster. In their wills Nathaniel3 named "brother Foster," and Richard3 "brother ... John Foster," as an overseer (WNYHS 2:220; REC. 65:248; Combes, 15). v. Maria, b. say 1664, bap. 18 June 1664 (BDC 73)." | Foster, John (I3195)

(See page 94 of attached record in Canterbury Online book "Canterbury Marriage Licenses," by Joseph Meadows Cowper, p. 94: "Edward Clinch, of Otterden, and Elizabeth Peirs of Stalisfield. At Stalisfield. Feb. 18, 1608.") Edward's will, Dated 23 Feb 1647 states he was a "yeoman, of Otterden" mentions "Elizabeth my lovinge wife," His daughter An Clinche, "Elizabeth Clinche the wife of Edwarde Gourny," "Sons James Clinche, Soloman Clinche, and Simon Clinche," "Sara Clinche the wife of Nicholas [Meusat?]," "Edwarde Clinche my eldest son named as executor," and " - Bequeaths considerable property in Otterden, Stalisfield, Eastling, and Doddington. Their children, from Otterden's records: Elizabeth Clinch, (c. 12 Jul 1614) Sara Clinch (c. 11 May 1617) Edward Clinch (c. 28 Nov 1620 - bur. 10 Jan 1665) married Mary. In the Kent Quarter Sessions Q/SB/6/59 James Clinch (c. 8 Feb 1623) married Margaret. He would have been 33 when his children's baptisms start appearing in the Church Book of Smarten [sic: Smarden] Baptists Church: James (Aug 23, 1656), Joseph (Nov 29, 1658), Joshua (Dec 11, 1660), William (Oct 12 1663), Margaret (Jan 16 1665), Dan (Dec 21 1668) and John (Feb 20 1671). Smarten [sic: Smarden] was the first Baptist church in Kent and its' congregation came from 30 of the surrounding parishes. The were a democratic congregation of farmers and artisans who elected officials with a show of hands. Christopher Blackwood, the first minister, declared that civil magistrates had no more right to punish heretics than they did sick people. He fought in Cromwell's army when they fought in Ireland during 1652. There is a good chance that James Clinch went with him. Cromwell lost the Baptists' support when he declared himself Lord Protector in 1654, though Blackwood dissociated himself from the radical sects who were calling him the "old dragon," "Man of Sin" and "vile person." Some of the more radical Baptists expected the second coming of Christ in 1660. Instead, Charles II was crowned king of England. He had no love of religious dissidents. A third of Scotland's ministers were dismissed because they were Presbyterians. (Fitzroy MacLean, "A Concise History of Scotland," 1970, p. 138) In May, Parliament received a bill for the prompt suppression of Baptists and Quakers. People were fined for attending meetings. The Baptist Minister in Maidstone spent the next 20 years in and out of prison. All of the goods belonging to the Minister of Eyhorne Hundred were seized. London's prisons were filled with religious prisoners. Thus it can be taken as a sign of his courage, that James baptized five of his children during these years. The 1664 assessment says he owned a house with 3 chimneys in Hollingherst. I have no record of him after the baptism of his son John in 1671, but he was presumably alive on September 13, 1688 when James the son of James Clinch Ann Clinch (c. 4 Aug 1627) Solomon Clinch (Our Ancestor) ( c. 10 Jul 1631 - bur. 28 Oct 1690) Symon Clinch (c. 10 Jul 1631) The Kent Hearth tax assessment of 1664 states that Symon Clynch owned a house with one chimney in Boughton Maleherb (Harrington, p 103) Further, for James Clinch (4, above) From the National Archives Kew C 6/160/192 Description: Short title: Streete v Clinch.

At Stalisfield. Feb. 18, 1608.") Edward's will, Dated 23 Feb 1647 states he was a "yeoman, of Otterden" mentions "Elizabeth my lovinge wife," His daughter An Clinche, "Elizabeth Clinche the wife of Edwarde Gourny," "Sons James Clinche, Soloman Clinche, and Simon Clinche," "Sara Clinche the wife of Nicholas [Meusat?]," "Edwarde Clinche my eldest son named as executor," and " - Bequeaths considerable property in Otterden, Stalisfield, Eastling, and Doddington. Their children, from Otterden's records: Elizabeth Clinch, (c. 12 Jul 1614) Sara Clinch (c. 11 May 1617) Edward Clinch (c. 28 Nov 1620 - bur. 10 Jan 1665) married Mary. In the Kent Quarter Sessions Q/SB/6/59 James Clinch (c. 8 Feb 1623) married Margaret. He would have been 33 when his children's baptisms start appearing in the Church Book of Smarten [sic: Smarden] Baptists Church: James (Aug 23, 1656), Joseph (Nov 29, 1658), Joshua (Dec 11, 1660), William (Oct 12 1663), Margaret (Jan 16 1665), Dan (Dec 21 1668) and John (Feb 20 1671). Smarten [sic: Smarden] was the first Baptist church in Kent and its' congregation came from 30 of the surrounding parishes. The were a democratic congregation of farmers and artisans who elected officials with a show of hands. Christopher Blackwood, the first minister, declared that civil magistrates had no more right to punish heretics than they did sick people. He fought in Cromwell's army when they fought in Ireland during 1652. There is a good chance that James Clinch went with him. Cromwell lost the Baptists' support when he declared himself Lord Protector in 1654, though Blackwood dissociated himself from the radical sects who were calling him the "old dragon," "Man of Sin" and "vile person." Some of the more radical Baptists expected the second coming of Christ in 1660. Instead, Charles II was crowned king of England. He had no love of religious dissidents. A third of Scotland's ministers were dismissed because they were Presbyterians. (Fitzroy MacLean, "A Concise History of Scotland," 1970, p. 138) In May, Parliament received a bill for the prompt suppression of Baptists and Quakers. People were fined for attending meetings. The Baptist Minister in Maidstone spent the next 20 years in and out of prison. All of the goods belonging to the Minister of Eyhorne Hundred were seized. London's prisons were filled with religious prisoners. Thus it can be taken as a sign of his courage, that James baptized five of his children during these years. The 1664 assessment says he owned a house with 3 chimneys in Hollingherst. I have no record of him after the baptism of his son John in 1671, but he was presumably alive on September 13, 1688 when James the son of James Clinch Ann Clinch (c. 4 Aug 1627) Solomon Clinch (Our Ancestor) ( c. 10 Jul 1631 - bur. 28 Oct 1690) Symon Clinch (c. 10 Jul 1631) The Kent Hearth tax assessment of 1664 states that Symon Clynch owned a house with one chimney in Boughton Maleherb (Harrington, p 103) Further, for James Clinch (4, above) From the National Archives Kew C 6/160/192 Description: Short title: Streete v Clinch.

Cromwell lost the Baptists' support when he declared himself Lord Protector in 1654, though Blackwood dissociated himself from the radical sects who were calling him the "old dragon," "Man of Sin" and "vile person." Some of the more radical Baptists expected the second coming of Christ in 1660. Instead, Charles II was crowned king of England. He had no love of religious dissidents. A third of Scotland's ministers were dismissed because they were Presbyterians. (Fitzroy MacLean, "A Concise History of Scotland," 1970, p. 138) In May, Parliament received a bill for the prompt suppression of Baptists and Quakers. People were fined for attending meetings. The Baptist Minister in Maidstone spent the next 20 years in and out of prison. All of the goods belonging to the Minister of Eyhorne Hundred were seized. London's prisons were filled with religious prisoners. Thus it can be taken as a sign of his courage, that James baptized five of his children during these years. The 1664 assessment says he owned a house with 3 chimneys in Hollingherst. I have no record of him after the baptism of his son John in 1671, but he was presumably alive on September 13, 1688 when James the son of James Clinch Ann Clinch (c. 4 Aug 1627) Solomon Clinch (Our Ancestor) ( c. 10 Jul 1631 - bur. 28 Oct 1690) Symon Clinch (c. 10 Jul 1631) The Kent Hearth tax assessment of 1664 states that Symon Clynch owned a house with one chimney in Boughton Maleherb (Harrington, p 103) Further, for James Clinch (4, above) From the National Archives Kew C 6/160/192 Description: Short title: Streete v Clinch.

Hales "Edward Clinche, Our Ancestor (c. 19 Jun 1586 - 23 Feb 1647 Otterden) married Elizabeth Piers in Stalisfield, Kent, on 18 Feb 1608. (See page 94 of attached record in Canterbury Online book "Canterbury Marriage Licenses," by Joseph Meadows Cowper, p. 94: "Edward Clinch, of Otterden, and Elizabeth Peirs of Stalisfield. At Stalisfield. Feb. 18, 1608.") Edward's will, Dated 23 Feb 1647 states he was a "yeoman, of Otterden" mentions "Elizabeth my lovinge wife," His daughter An Clinche, "Elizabeth Clinche the wife of Edwarde Gourny," "Sons James Clinche, Soloman Clinche, and Simon Clinche," "Sara Clinche the wife of Nicholas [Meusat?]," "Edwarde Clinche my eldest son named as executor," and " - Bequeaths considerable property in Otterden, Stalisfield, Eastling, and Doddington. Their children, from Otterden's records: Elizabeth Clinch, (c. 12 Jul 1614) Sara Clinch (c. 11 May 1617) Edward Clinch (c. 28 Nov 1620 - bur. 10 Jan 1665) married Mary. In the Kent Quarter Sessions Q/SB/6/59 James Clinch (c. 8 Feb 1623) married Margaret. He would have been 33 when his children's baptisms start appearing in the Church Book of Smarten [sic: Smarden] Baptists Church: James (Aug 23, 1656), Joseph (Nov 29, 1658), Joshua (Dec 11, 1660), William (Oct 12 1663), Margaret (Jan 16 1665), Dan (Dec 21 1668) and John (Feb 20 1671). Smarten [sic: Smarden] was the first Baptist church in Kent and its' congregation came from 30 of the surrounding parishes. The were a democratic congregation of farmers and artisans who elected officials with a show of hands. Christopher Blackwood, the first minister, declared that civil magistrates had no more right to punish heretics than they did sick people. He fought in Cromwell's army when they fought in Ireland during 1652. There is a good chance that James Clinch went with him. Cromwell lost the Baptists' support when he declared himself Lord Protector in 1654, though Blackwood dissociated himself from the radical sects who were calling him the "old dragon," "Man of Sin" and "vile person." Some of the more radical Baptists expected the second coming of Christ in 1660. Instead, Charles II was crowned king of England. He had no love of religious dissidents. A third of Scotland's ministers were dismissed because they were Presbyterians. (Fitzroy MacLean, "A Concise History of Scotland," 1970, p. 138) In May, Parliament received a bill for the prompt suppression of Baptists and Quakers. People were fined for attending meetings. The Baptist Minister in Maidstone spent the next 20 years in and out of prison. All of the goods belonging to the Minister of Eyhorne Hundred were seized. London's prisons were filled with religious prisoners. Thus it can be taken as a sign of his courage, that James baptized five of his children during these years. The 1664 assessment says he owned a house with 3 chimneys in Hollingherst. I have no record of him after the baptism of his son John in 1671, but he was presumably alive on September 13, 1688 when James the son of James Clinch Ann Clinch (c. 4 Aug 1627) Solomon Clinch (Our Ancestor) ( c. 10 Jul 1631 - bur. 28 Oct 1690) Symon Clinch (c. 10 Jul 1631) The Kent Hearth tax assessment of 1664 states that Symon Clynch owned a house with one chimney in Boughton Maleherb (Harrington, p 103) Further, for James Clinch (4, above) From the National Archives Kew C 6/160/192 Description: Short title: Streete v Clinch.

MARRIAGE: 1. There appears to be several different Sarah Phelps of this era all claiming marriage to David Marshall per several entries in the LDS IGI. I sense the Phelps book referenced above may be incorrect. Verification needed. The most likely one shows David Marshall married to Sarah Phelps, b. 20 Dec 1687 in Simsbury, Hartford, CT, and d. 18 Jan 1736. This David Marshall shows b. 14 Apr 1692 and as the son of David Marshall and Abigail Phelps. Currently I am uncomfortable showing our Sarah as the spouse of David Marshall. The following on David is from the book of Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, p. 467: "David (son of David, g.son of Capt.

From the book "Our Town's Heritage, 1708-1958, Hebron, Connecticut," by John Sibun, 1975, Connecticut State Historical Society: "The first white men to settle in town were Timothy Phelps and William Shipman, who arrived in Hebron from Windsor in June 1704. The area, then a wilderness, was used by the Indians as a hunting ground, and the few white men who knew of its existence passed through to other locations. The first two houses were located along Route 85 south of today's center. Approximately on what is now the Hilding driveway, Shipman built his homestead and Phelps constructed his home across the road on the land now owned by the Porter family. It is possible they worked on their property during the summer months only for the first two years, and returned to their families in Windsor when winter set in. The settlers had some prior knowledge of what to expect before they arrived, as the land had been scouted years before but never occupied. Like so much territory on which Connecticut towns were founded, Hebron's land was owned originally by the Indians. However, in the case of Hebron, it was obtained not by seizure or conquest, but legally, in the form of a legacy drawn up by Joshua, Sachem of the Western Nehantics… …Hebron became an incorporated town in May 1708 with nine families living within its boundaries. Up until then, Lebanon excepted, towns had been named for their English counterparts and Hebron was the second Biblical name used in Connecticut. No one is certain how or why the name of Hebron came to be used. It may have been named by a scholar of the Bible, for it was apt in that its Hebrew origin meant a settlement created by people coming from diverse directions. There are numerous Hebrons in the United States, and the one in Nova Scotia was founded by people from Hebron, Connecticut, who were Tory "refugees." The original Hebron in Palestine was old in Abraham's day and is believed to be one of the two oldest cities in the world. The first settlers in Hebron included Shipmans, Roots, Sawyers, Posts, Tillotsons, Palmers, Curtis, and two families of Phelps. Filers, Jones, Youngs, and Trumbulls were also among the very earliest families. Probably the first spot named in the area was Prophet's Rock in use even before the name of Hebron. Prophet's Rock, located on the Smith property on Burrows Hill Road, is really two pieces of granite which look as though one large mass had been cleaved down the middle. It stands on the brow of the highest point around with one stone slightly larger and higher than the other. Each part of the rock has an overhang where one can huddle snugly from the rain and wind, and a sheltered place where a fire can be lighted. It is easy to see why Indians probably used the rock for refuge and observation when on the trail. When man was not there, it became a natural lair for the hunted animal or one sheltering itself from the noonday sun. Here in 1706, so legend has it, the wives of Shipman and Phelps came to find their husbands. One evening the two original settlers heard strange sounds echoing across the valley, and an investigation revealed their families standing on the rock calling for them. It is conjecture whether they really could be heard. Be that as it may, the men were overjoyed to be reunited with their families. Martha Crow Phelps thought her place was with her husband and on her own initiative had resolved the situation. Bringing with her the goods that would make life in a virgin area more bearable, she camped along the way as the trip apparently took a few days. It is said she did not hurry, but negotiated the rough going stoically, clutching her Bible to herself as she lay down in the shelter of rocks and rested under fallen trees. Born in Windsor 36 years before, it could not have been an easy decision to make the journey, for Martha's mother had "disappeared" many years before when she had set out on a like journey to seek her husband. Hebron is the 41st oldest town in the state and its very early origin can be shown by the fact that the Mayflower had arrived at Plymouth a bare 80 years before the first white men came to the region. For many people this magic date, to all intents and purposes, marks the start of the country's history. During the 1600's Plantations were founded in areas such as Saybrook, Hartford, Windsor, and Wethersfield which were accessible by waterways. It was not until later that inland towns, such as Hebron, came into being. The 17th century was a time when the Indians in Connecticut chose sides and either fought for, or against, the white man. The Pequot tribe, which alone outnumbered the Englishmen, was one of the biggest and fiercest bands which roamed the countryside and frequently plundered the tiny colonies. Eventually, with the aid of other tribes, notably the Mohegans of Saybrook who hunted up through Hebron, the white man gradually brought lasting peace to the Connecticut countryside. Before 1704 there was nothing to distinguish Hebron from the rest of this part of New England. Deer and other wild game roamed across a brush wilderness, slept in the caves, and sunned themselves on the great slabs of rock which dotted the countryside. Hunting the game to provide food and clothing, Indians from the local tribes hurried along the trails that had been blazed up from the shore line. Hebron was laced with these paths. The town area, as we know it now, probably did not support a regular large community of Indians, but from time to time, may have had isolated small resident groups. In addition to hunting, the Indians used the area for a little seasonal farming. Each spring, the tribes would send some of their members to take possession of large inland hillsides suitable for growing corn. To clear the land quickly, vegetation was burned to the ground. Other Indians arrived with seed corn and ground fish porgies for fertilizer, and after the planting was completed, returned to their shore line homes. At the end of the summer the Indians collected their harvest. Some of it was used on the spot for a big celebration feast complete with dances around a corn stalk fire. The festivities over, the Indians headed for the shore with a corn supply which they hoped would last them through the long winter months ahead. Indians still used Burnt Hill, situated next to the Hebron road of that name, for growing corn long after the first white men came, but gradually the settler edged the red man out of his use of this type of land. Very little, if any, trouble occurred between the first local Hebron settlers and the Indians. But in the first few decades when there was general unrest in the state, some residents took to sleeping in a Block House which was situated near the site of the old Brick School and what is now the junction of Route 85 and the Old Colchester Road. In 1705, the Connecticut General Assembly authorized John Pritchard and John Plumb to survey the five mile tract (what is now part of the eastern and southern sides of Lebanon), the boundaries to be marked on convenient rocks. These markers remain; the one in Goshen bears the legend LVMC (for Lebanon Five Mile Corner). Many years ago, Clarence Bissell led a small party to rediscover the Hebron "L Rock." They set off from what is now Archie Green's house and located a flat rock three quarters of a mile from the southwest corner of Amston Lake; the chiseled "L" was still legible. The "town fathers" also established laws at this time with which to govern the community. The first complete record of Town Officers was made in December 1709 when a town clerk, constable, 3 townsmen, surveyor of highways, and a lister were elected. It was voted that a diamond would be the town brand for cattle, and a certain white oak centrally located, was designated as the town's notice board. Initially, town meetings were held in various private homes. At this time, the primary business at meetings was that of establishing a church. An early town law stated that no timber, wood, hay, or stone could be transported out of town. This was to ensure that the community did not experience any shortages in its attempt to become self-sufficient. In 1710 the state was petitioned to allow the town the right to tax the land within its boundaries. There are few details of the first town meeting which was held on September 20, 1708, at which Timothy Phelps was elected Town Clerk. Another Phelps, Nathaniel, was "elected" in 1712 to be the town's first innkeeper. It appears that enough visitors were passing through the village to warrant such action. His tavern was situated near the Colchester line… …It is very hard to find a time in the town's history when a Jones was not in residence. The oldest family grave- stones go back to 1775, but Joneses were in town long before that time. Many of them were soldiers including Ezekiel Jones who had been a drummer boy in the Revolution. Several towns in the state have a Jones family, and it is safe to say probably in many cases their ancestors came from Hebron many years before. Not only is there a street called after the prolific Jones family in Hebron, but there is a cemetery on that street named for them. For many years, they gathered once a year to put the cemetery grounds in order and at the same time have a picnic where everyone was brought up to date on the news of all branches of the family. One Hebron Jones, Joel, found that being a principal citizen of the village had its drawbacks. In the late 18th century, he spent some time imprisoned in Tolland jail after the town was unable to pay its county taxes. This was one way the law could be enforced to collect taxes, but para- doxically, a sure way that a person could gain the respect of his fellow citizens…" [Included with this article is a line drawing depicting "Martha Crow Phelps seeks her husband, with her on the "Prophet's Rock." Also there is a photo of the rock. Also included is a copy of a township map drawn in 1744 by Isaac Pinney with the original in the Connecticut State Library Ecclesiastical Vol. VII. The map lists the following Phelps: Esq. Phelps, Capt. Phelps, N. Phelps, C. Phelps, Noah Phelps, S. Phelps, and Phelps. The Phelpses are generally clustered to the east of the township center and approximately a third of the way up from the bottom of the township. There is only one "Jones" listed and that is on the western edge approximately 2 miles up from the southern border. This was John Jones' residence at which time he would have been a teenager in the household. There is still a Jones Street and Pond at the old location of the Jones. There is also a Jones Cemetery. Also listed are three "Porters" just to the west of the Phelps.] 5. From an undated newspaper article published by the "Manchester (Connecticut) Evening Herald": "Hebron in History and Story," by Susan B. Pendleton. Article found in the Windsor Historical Society Library, call no. R979.6N: "When the Herald indicated a willingness to allow space for some bits of fact and legend about Hebron, it deleighted me beyond measure, and I only wished that my old friend F. Clarence Bissell of blessed memory were here to help in the task. We people of Hebron probably owe more to Mr. Bissell for gathering and preserving Hebron history than to any other person, not even excepting that delightful old historian, the Rev.Samuel Peters, who sang Hebron's glories in the early days in such a way that it was hard to tell fact from fancy. Hebron as a town may, be said to have taken its initial start in the world of Attawanhood, (whose baptismal name was Joshua), sachem of the Western Nehantics, and third son of Uncas, gread sachem of the Mohegans, made a will, February 1675-6, giving to twenty-nine Saybrook men and women a large tract of land, with a map drawn by himself, showing its location on both sides of the Unguashot River. This river, which runs along the eastern part of Marlborough near the Hebron line, is now commonly known as the Blackledge river, and a sign placed by the state gives that name. It seems a pity that the old Indian name was not used instead. I believe this word is pronounced as if spelled Ungushet, whith accent on the second syllable. It is a wide and beautiful stream. Chistian Convert. Attawanhood left part of this land to his children, and wished them to be taught and trained after the manner of the white peoople. The home of this old sachem was in what is now Lyme, near the Eight Mile Island. He became a convert to Christianity and was given the name of Joshua at bptism. His will, which may be found entire in the State Library, is an interesting document, but too long to be quoted here in full. By its terms he gives to his two sons, in addition to other tracts, 'forty acres of land already broke up at Podunk, and also a plot of land about half a mile square lying in the last addition to Hartford bounds, and in case either die, then to my two squaws or the survivor of them. Further, my will is that my children be brought up for the first four years, henceforward, with Trusty and their mother to teach them English, and that they should live at or near Saybrooke.' He provides for his daughter, and gives further direction as to the schooling of the three, adding 'Also it is my desire that they come not among the Connecticut Indians.' Trusty was his slave, also an Indian. He says of him 'Also I desire Trusty may not go to the Narragansetts. I have chosen him to have the oversight of my children, as aforesaid. Also I desire to be buried at Saybrooke, in a coffin, in an English manner.' The Strange Sign. The will is signed and sealed at Pattapoque, Feb. 27, 1675-6. Attawanhood (or Joshua, if we must use his less romantic English name) ...[missing pages] ...towns, had been settled, the former in 1700 and the latter in 1702, and there were undoubtedly well defined trails for a good part of the way, over which the settlers made their march. Further light is thrown on the beginnings of Hebron by the narrative of Governor John S. Peters, a native of Hebron, born in 1772, in his historical notes written in 1843. He says that the two first settlers built log house on ground 'now occupied by Ira Bissell and Joel Wilcox, in autumn of 1705.' Trumbull has this date 1704, but possibly the discrepancy may be accounted for by the 'old style and new style' system of dates. It seems likely, whatever the date, that the settlers built their log houses that first fall after staking out their claims. Hilding brothers now live on the Ira Bissell place, and when a few years ago, they made some excavations for the purpose of making a foundation for a garage, they came upon the old site of one of the log hosues. An ancient looking ink bottle was found by one of the men while digging. The bottle was whole and is preserved by the Hilding family. While this may have been part of refuse or junk thrown nto the cellar hole or foundation after the old log house had gone down it probably dated well back to the early days of the town. And it may easily have been owned by the first settlers. First White Woman. Governor Peters in his memoirs tells the story of the coming of the first white woman in these words: 'While the men were making preparations for their families iin the summer of 1706, they brought their provisions with them and remained for weeks at their new homes. Their wives, being anxious for the welfare of their husbands and unwilling to be left too long alone, four or five started one shining morning for the promised land, twenty long miles through the wilderness, regulating their course by marked trees and crossing the streams on logs felled for the purpose. Night overtook them in the lower part of Gilead. They wandered from the line and brought up on the hill south of Nathan Smith's house was later located. Fearing that the wolves would regale themselves on their delicious bodies they concluded to roost upon the top of the high rock on the summit of the hill. Here they proclaimed their lamentations to the winds. This novel serenade attracted the attention of their husbands, who wandered towards the sound until they fortunately found their wives on the rock which they had chosen for their night's repose. The gratification of the interview can be better imagined than described.' As Governor Peters was a great hand for setting down memoirs or historical notes, and as he could easily have talked with the children or grandchildren of these early settlers, there would seem to be no doubt of the truth of the delightful little tale. Hardy, Brave Women. One can imagine these brave, eager women, impatient at the long delay which had left them at Windsor, separated from their husbands, and with no means of finding out whether they were so much as dead or alive. It is no wonder that, wearied of waiting and eating out their hearts with anxiety, they finally decided to take the matter into their own hands and find out for themselves where their husbands were and how they were faring. Two of these women were Timothy Phelps' wife and William Shipman's wife. It is thought that a third may have been Nathaniel Phelps' wife, and it has also been suggested that an unmarried sister or two may have accompanied them. Timothy Phelps' wife was Martha Crow, who was born in Windsor in 1670, and was therefore 36 years old. Her husband was 43, and at the time they had five children, Martha, 16, Timothy, 13, Noah 12, Cornelius, 8, and Charles, 4. It is supposed that the oldest daughter, Martha, may have stayed at home to look out for the younger children. Perhaps one reason why Martha, Timothy's wife, was bent on making the trip to the new settlement of her husband was an account of a poignant memory of a painful experience which had happened in her family years before. Her father, Christopher Crow, as tersely noted on Windsor records, had 'disappeared for parts unknown.' His wife, Mary Burr Crow, Martha's mother, going in search of him was never heard from again, so the children were left fatherless and motherless, although, it is said, well provided for. The mystery of the disappearance of the parents has never been solved, though descendants have made all possible research. Probably it was Martha who was the leading spirit in the Hebron walking trip. Strange Disappearance. They undoubtedly started out early in the morning on a pleasant summer day, wearing homespun garments and stout shoes. No doubt, too, they carried along with them as much provision in the shape of food as they could manage, samples of their own cooking maybe, with which to regale their husbands who had been so long deprived of such good things. Supposedly the trip went well at first; the trail not difficult to follow, logs over the streams easy to cross, the woods green and pleasant whith the sun shining through here and there, marks on the trees to set them right when they were at all doubtful. One can picture them resting by the side of some brook, along about noon, eating their carefully carried lunch, and drinking from the stream. By that time their feet were getting tired and they were a little stiff and lame. They went on a little slower, and by and by it began to grow darker in the thick woods, harder to make sure of their way. And at last dusk came creeping on. The shadows gave the trees a wierd look. They could no longer distingush the marks on the trees. It is no wonder that the wayfarers strayed from the trail, casting about in a panic until they brought up in the lower part of Gilead. Only there was not any Gilead then, nothing but wilderness of trees. As the darkness deepened, they heard hoarse, ominous sounds, and they wandered wildly here and there in the attempt to find their bearings. No doubt well trained in woods lore the women managed to reestablish their way in the right general direction. Finally they stumbled by chance upon a great boulder in the vicinity of Burrow Hill, near Edwin T. Smith's place. Mr. Smith is a descendant of the Nathan Smith mentioned by Peters in his account. But of course nobody lived there then. They hailed the great rock as a heaven sent refuge, and managed somehow or other to scramble up on its rugged sides and cast themselves down on its broad, flat top. If at this stage they gave way to 'lamentations' as the facetious historian, Peters, would have us believe, it is hardly to be wondered at, but I believe that after they had taken a minute or two to catch their breaths and send up a prayer to heaven, they made the welkin ring with a loud hallooing, in the hope that maybe, just possibly, the men would hear them and come to their rescue. Rescued. The distance across the valley from the rock to the place where the log houses were located in not so far that such a call might not have been heard on a still summer evening. And what a meeting that must have been when the men came hurrying pell mell, to find the women on top of the rock! After having walked considerably further than twenty miles, in their wanderings, these hardy pioneer women must have been almost exhausted, but it can easily be imagined that in their delight at finding their 'men folks,' they forgot their weariness and were able to continue the mile or so more to the pleasant little log houses in their promised land. Nathaniel Phelps' wife was Hannah Bissell, a daughter of Samuel. From the women of this party many Hebron people have descended, indeed, it is probably not too much to say that about all the old Hebron families can trace back to them in one way or another. The rock of the story may be seen today just as it was when the women scrambled atop of it, and many parties of young people or others interested in historical lore continue to visit it. It is on a pasture owned by Edwin T. Smith. It is a relic of the glacial period and by some mighty convulsion." 6.
