| Misc. Notes |
Watertown 1637, one of the lessees of the fishing wear at that place, perhaps was freem. of Fairfield 1669, had large est. may be the man, wh. came from London, 1635, aged 29, in the "Elizabeth and Ann", for no other of the name can I find ealier.197, v2p529
Henry Jackson was probably the man who came [from London, England] in the ship Elizabeth & Ann in 1635, aged 29, having taken the oath of aliegiance & supremacy to the crown, & brought a certificate from the minister & justice of the peace, in the place he resided in England, (not mentioned) of his conformity to the Church of England, & that he was no subsidy man. (Hotten's List of Emigrants to America.) In the same ship came Robert Hawkins, Nicholas St. John & several of the Whitney family. He was at Watertown [Massachusetts] in 1637, & was, says Savage, "one of the lessers of the fishing grounds of that place." He was at Fairfield in 1648, where Feb. 2, 1648/9 he made an agreement with the town to erect a grist-mill on the stream running into the west side of Uncoway River, which he sold in 1653 to Samuel Morehouse. His home-lot was bounded n.w. with Nathan Gold's pasture lot, n.e. the Unocoway mill-creek at high water-mark, s.e. highway, & s.w. with his own land. He removed after selling the mill, to Pequonnock & purchased, the house & home-lot of Thomas Wheeler jr. He was made a freeman 10 Oct. 1669 and was one of the dividend land holders of the town.565 |
