| Misc. Notes |
Much research on this family prior to DL Jacobus' article in NEHGR in 1921648, v75 p175 had substantial errors. This genealogy file is consistent with Jacobus.
In 1651 he obtained permission from Milford to settle in the Northern part of the township, then known as Paugasset (later Derby), and with his brother-in-law Thomas Langdon became the first settler there.504, v1p700 The growing village at Paugasett was not viewed with favor by the authorities at Milford and New Haven, and occasional lawlessness on the part of some of the villagers intensified their disapproval. In this situation Edward Wooster conducted himself with prudence, for in 1669 the General Court appointed him constable of Paugasset. His social position is indicated by the fact that at least one record refers to him as "goodman."648, v75 p176 |
