    "4.2. Matthias the Chandler

    The parish registers of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, London, record the baptisms of children of Matthias Sension and his wife Mary and of James Sension and his wife Anne. Both of these are called chandlers -- merchants of candles and other small wares and groceries.

    Two entries for Matthias and Mary _____ Sension appear: the baptisms of Thomas on 24 October 1631 and Marke on 10 June 1633. There are no further mention of this family in England and shortly after the records in New England start. So, tentatively, this family can be identified as the immigrants.

    Mentions of James Sension and his wife Anne occur from 1636 through 1652. These are baptisms and burials of children. So apparently this family remained in England."

    Matthias and Mary (Tinker) Sension resided in the parish of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, London, where he was a chandler. [See Robert Leigh Ward, "Two Contemporaries named Matthias Sension," The American Genealogist, 53 [1977]: 241-243.] They immigrated to New England, and were living at Dorchester by 3 Sept. 1634 when he was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. On 4 Jan. 1635/6, the Town of Dorchester granted Mathias Sension a "great lot" of 20 acres "betwixt Roxbury and Dorchester at the great hill."... Soon afterwards [April 1638], Matthias and his family moved to Windsor, Conn., where he resided on a one-acre homelot inside of Palisado, bounded by the burying place and the lands of Thomas Parsons and William Hill... By 1648, Matthias Sension sold his land holdings in Windsor to Walter Gaylord and removed to Wethersfield, where he had a houselot at the extreme north part of the Commons (by the present Cove)... About 1654, the Sension family moved once again, to Norwalk, Conn., where Matthias Sension died ca. January 1669/70, when his inventory was taken.
