• Notes

  He sailed for America from London August 10, 1635, and was a prominent citizen; and took an active part in the work of settling the town, but was not so much of a public man as was his brother William. In 1678 he and his brother William were on a committee to build a new meeting-house. Lt. John was elected Town Treasurer December 29, 1675. He served as a soldier in King Philips War and became Ensign (2nd Lt.) His wife, Elizabeth, died 9 Mar 1681/1682. He was 96 years when he died. Source: Family History Center. Genealogical Forum. History of Stratford 1639-1939 by William Howard Wilcoxsin (Denver Publ Library) page 120. NOTE Most sources say that Elizabeth Welles (sister of Governor Thomas Welles) was his wife. However, on page 2 of the Curtiss Genealogy, it says that she was not. Married one other (Margaret).
