"Eleazer2 Prindle (William1), son of William and Mary (Desborough) Prindle, was born in New Haven, Conn., June 7, 1669; married Elizabeth Andrews, daughter of Thomas Andrews, of Milford, formerly of Farmington, Conn.; and died abt. 1713. He settled in Milford, at a place called Burwell's farms, and was one of the original proprietors of New Milford, in 1712. He was a blacksmith and preacher.
Eleazer was left the homestead in consideration of his taking care of his parents in their latter days, and was twenty years old when his father died. In 1697 he and his mother sold ten acres from the north end of the homestead to Joseph Smith. His mother died probably about 1700-1701, and in 1702 Eleazer sold the house and remaining land, of seven and one-half acres, to Isaac Jones and Gershom Brown, of New Haven. …
The year before he sold the remainder of the homestead, Eleazer had taken steps toward locating in Milford, influenced doubtless by the settlement there of his brothers Samuel and Ebenezer. In 1701 he bought four and one-half acres in Oyster Meadow Plain of Jeremiah Canfield, and in 1702 as much more of John Ford in the same neighborhood, and probably married soon after. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Elizabeth, July 6, 1713. The inventory included the house and barn and land in Milford, £150; land in Wallingford bounds, 83 acres, £70; 'spelling book and sermon book, 4 shillings,' etc., the estimated value after payment of debts being about £275."
